The Advanced Placement English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory university-level rhetoric and writing curriculum, which requires students to develop evidence-based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Throughout the course, students develop a personal style by making appropriate grammatical choices. Additionally, students read and analyze the rhetorical elements and their effects in non-fiction texts, including graphic images as forms of text, from many disciplines and historical periods.
The Advanced Placement English Language and Composition course is designed to help students become skilled readers and writers through engagement with the following course requirements:
Writing expository, analytical, and argumentative compositions based on readings representing a variety of prose styles and genres
Reading nonfiction works, including essays, journalism, science writing, autobiographies, and criticism, selected to provide students opportunities to identify and explain an author’s employment of rhetorical strategies and techniques
Analyzing graphics and visual images both in relation to written texts and as alternative forms of text themselves
Developing research skills and the ability to evaluate, use, and cite primary and secondary sources
Conducting research and writing argument papers in which students present an argument of their own that includes the analysis and synthesis of ideas from an array of sources
Citing sources using a recognized editorial style; in this case, Modern Language Association format
Revising their work to develop a wide-ranging vocabulary used appropriately and effectively;
A variety of sentence structures, including appropriate use of subordination and coordination;
Logical organization, enhanced by techniques such as repetition, transitions, and emphasis;
A balance of generalization and specific, illustrative detail; and
An effective use of rhetoric, including tone, voice, diction, and sentence structure.
In May, all students are required to take the College Board Advanced Placement English Language and Composition Exam, which is comprised of multiple-choice and free-response questions that assess essential skills covered in the course curriculum, including reading comprehension of rhetorically and topically diverse texts, rhetorical analysis of individual texts in isolation, and synthesis of information from multiple texts. Many colleges and universities award college credit based on the score attained on this exam.
