AP English Language and Composition focuses on the central question, “Why was a text important when it was written?” As we analyze a text from this perspective, considering how the author would have considered their purpose, audience, and situation, we also develop the transfer skills to make those determinations about our own writing. As such, we develop the skills to consider a rhetorical situation as both reader and writer, which we can use in any context.Given the course’s focus on the rhetorical situation, we will read and write in a variety of genres (both academic and professional) as we prepare for both the AP English Language and Composition Exam and collegiate-level, academic writing. Since most students have the potential to earn credit for a college composition course with the successful completion of this exam, students should expect that most writing assignments will go through multiple drafts, with teacher, peer, and self evaluation all part of the writing and feedback process.
