Welcome to AP English Literature and Composition

Mililani High School's AP English Literature and Composition course "focuses on reading, analyzing, and writing about imaginative literature (fiction, poetry, drama) from various periods. Students engage in close reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature to deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provided both meaning and pleasure. As they read, students consider a work's structure, style, and themes, as well as its use of figurative language, imagery, and symbolism. Writing assignments include expository, analytical, and argumentative essays that require students to analyze and interpret literary works."

"Interested students should be able to read and comprehend college-level texts and write grammatically correct, complete sentences."

"The AP English Literature and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level literature and writing curriculum."
