AP Literature and Composition

Author Study 2024 - 25

 Students selected authors on which to complete an in-depth study.

They completed research on the author's lives, and critical analysis of their work.  Students read several pieces by the author and synthesized how their author utilized the enduring understandings of the Collegeboard's AP Literature and Composition framework.  Using prompts from the Literary Argumentation question from the AP Literature Free Response Questions, students then analyzed 1 piece the author wrote.  Finally, students wrote in the style of their author.  These websites are the culmination of their work.
