Grade 12

AP Literature and Composition is for dedicated students who wish to develop the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills necessary for post-secondary academic work.  The purpose of this course is to create a dynamic, challenging environment for students to explore a variety of historical perspectives and literary styles, thus deepening a student’s understanding of the impacts of context, language, and art.  While engaging students in careful reading, critical analysis, and thoughtful discussion of imaginative literature and nonfiction, college-level analysis and compositional skills will also be developed.
