AP English Literature and Composition
ap english

AP English is the culminating course in a series of honors courses designed to challenge and motivate students with specific abilities in the field of English. The design of the course is such that it will meet the academic/college preparatory English requirement for the senior year and provide students with opportunities to develop and practice the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills necessary for successful completion of the national AP exam given in May each year. Course content includes an integrated curriculum of reading, writing, creative expression, vocabulary, critical thinking, and public speaking activities derived from a study of world literature from the sixteenth century to the present. Students will read full-length works of poetry, nonfiction prose and fiction, literary criticism, and nonfiction essays. In addition to writing frequently for a variety of purposes, students will also practice test methods for the AP exam, including the multiple-choice literary analysis and comprehension section. It is expected that all students who are enrolled in AP English will take the AP exam. AP English begins in early June. Therefore, enrollment must be completed by the last day of the school year preceding the start of the course.
