12th Grade AP Lit and Comp
The AP Literature and Composition course is a rigorous and intensive reading and writing course that will provide students with a learning experience equivalent to the introductory year of college literature and composition course work. Students will carefully read and critically analyze various genres of literature throughout the ages and diverse cultures, employing advanced reading strategies and examination of story elements, literary devices and their effectiveness. The course includes frequent opportunities for students to write and rewrite to understand (informal and exploratory writing), explain (expository and analytical writing) and evaluate (analytical and argumentative writing). The writing emphasis of the course will concentrate on expanding the student’s vocabulary with weekly word lists and quizzes and improve sentence structure, logical organization, grammar, mechanics and usage. The course also emphasizes oral interpretation, public speaking and listening skills. It is geared to the student who desires to take the AP exam.
