AP English Language and Composition 11-12 (Year)

AP English Language and Composition 11-12 (Year): This course is for students who are proficient in English and wish to master composition and language skills. The course is organized around the aims (expressive, literary, persuasive, referential) and modes (classification, descriptive, narrative) of writing. Students review exam papers from previous years for strengths and weaknesses and learn to analyze the works of professional writers, both fiction and non-fiction, to determine the rhetorical devices the writers employ. They learn to recognize and use these strategies in their own writing. They also practice the objective portions of the exam, making vocabulary and grammar an important aspect of the course, and experience the stress of timed writings. Daily warm-up exercises include review of common errors in grammar, mechanics, and sentence structure that could adversely affect the AP exam grade. Outside readings are assigned according to grade level. Students are expected to take the AP exam in May (see the AP program description on page 4). There is a summer assignment.
