The AP English Literature and Composition course is designed and taught through a mixture of themes and genres to develop students’ skills of analyzing literature based on genre structures and characteristics and to develop students’ ability to connect related literature under an overarching theme while also engaging with the required Big Ideas. This course closely follows the requirements described in the Course and Exam Description (CED). Students will read and study a variety of novels, plays, poems, and short fiction from the 16th century to the present from Literature and Composition: Essential Voices, Essential Skills. Emphasis is placed on developing independent reading, writing, thinking, and analytical skills through experiencing and writing multi-paragraph, literature-based compositions with an emphasis on expository development and developing student voice. Students will practice writing through numerous timed essays, which will be revised, as well as longer, MLA-formatted, researched essays. Students will also practice oral communication and writing for various audiences. This course will help prepare the student for the rigors of a college education.
