AP Language and Composition • Mr. Gaughen • Canyon Crest Academy
AP Language and Composition is a course designed to provide students access to the rigors and challenges of an introductory college-level course on composition and rhetoric. The primary goal of the course is to prepare students for the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills that will be demanded of them in all disciplines at the college level.
In this course, students will read and analyze a variety of non-fiction prose including but not limited to essays, speeches, editorials, articles, and academic journals. In this course, students will practice writing effectively for a range of audiences and a variety of purposes, demonstrate mastery of the conventions of standard written language, and use the steps of the writing process as needed. As this is an AP Course, performance expectations are high and the workload is challenging. Outside work often involves long-term writing and reading assignments in addition to regular homework assignments. Effective time management is important to be successful in this class.
