The Advanced Placement English Composition and Literature course focuses on critical reading and writing skills which are on par with those required for an entry level college literature course; therefore, an AP student should expect a course-load which is much more rigorous than a typical high school English class.
Students enrolled in this course will examine works of writers from a variety of genres and time periods. While cursory readings may focus on content and plot, AP students must consider authors’ tone, style, technique, and purpose. AP students must read critically and carefully, usually requiring multiple readings of each selected text. Students must also be able to articulate academic analysis and criticism in writing.
