Grade Level: 11 Credit: 1-Full Year Recommended Prerequisite: English Honors I and II This is a college-level reading and composition course. Students have the opportunity to earn college credit by passing a standard exam in May. This course curriculum has passed the audit requirements for the AP Board. As a result, the curriculum and the requirements are college level and the expectations of the AP Board must be followed. Students in this class must master a challenging course of interrelated disciplines and genres. The AP Language and Composition exam is the primary goal; but, students must also develop a solid background in the American literature canon, in order to prepare for English IV AP Literature and Composition. While the primary focus is nonfiction, students will also develop a background in American fiction, as they both prepare for the AP Language exam in May and the AP Literature experience the following year. As a result, the course will involve reading and evaluating non-fiction texts, synthesizing a variety of sources, reflecting and analyzing, developing vocabulary, plus improving writing style in a variety of essays (in both timed one-draft and un-timed multiple-draft formats, both inside and outside of class) that address typical AP essay prompts.
