Course Description

Students in this introductory college-level course read and carefully analyze a broad and challenging range of nonfiction prose and fiction selections, deepening their awareness of rhetoric and how language works. As this is a college-level course, performance expectations are appropriately high and the workload is challenging. Because of the demanding curriculum, students must bring to the course sufficient command of mechanical conventions and an ability to read and discuss prose. Summer reading is required. Students are required to take the AP Exam in May.

Please refer to the Course Catalog to read about AP exams.

*It is not recommended to take this course during the same semester as an English IV course.
