1 AP English Language and Composition Course Description This 18-week course is designed to be a college level course, thus the "AP" designation on your transcript. The goal of this course is to assist you in becoming skilled readers and writers. As you become aware of authors' style, you will become a more aware and accomplished writer with your own style. Of course, in reaching this goal, you must continue your study of the components that create style and how they work together. Reading Expectations 1. To carefully read and critically analyze fiction and nonfiction works of literature as well as visual accompaniments and their influence on meaning to the written word. 2. To consider a work's style through various elements of language such as theme, syntax, figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone through close reading. 3. To study representative works from various genres and periods of American history. 4. To understand a work's complexity, to absorb richness of meaning, and to analyze how meaning is embodied in literary form. Required Reading The following words will be studied closely: The Crucible, Miller To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee Excerpts "From Walden" & "Resistance to Civil Disobedience", Thoreau Excerpts from Nature & Self Reliance, Emerson The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald Their Eyes were Watching God, Hurston The Gettysburg Address Of Mice and Men "Letters from Birmingham Jail," Martin Luther King Selected short stories, essays, speeches, letters, and poems You will choose one work from the following list for independent study as well as research and synthesis of secondary sources: A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway Beloved, Morrison I Know why the Caged Bird Sings, Angelou Life on the Mississippi, Twain Song of Solomon, Morrison Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald
2 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain The Bell Jar, Plath The Color Purple, Walker The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck The House of Seven Gables, Hawthorne The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald Primary Texts The Language of Composition The Riverside Reader, Alternate Edition English Language and Composition Analysis, Argument, and Synthesis Writing Expectations You will write both formal and informal essays, some timed and others outside of class. Composition assignments will take various approaches, including personal, expository, and argumentative. We will study various composition structures, standard written English, guidelines of the Modern Language Association, sentence variety, and word choice. 1. All assignments for formal papers will include a specific grading rubric. An additional grade will be earned for completing all steps of the writing process, including both peer and teacher editing feedback and/or conferences. 2. Timed writings, both those for daily grades and essay tests, will be graded and returned, accompanied by a scoring guide as feedback. These scoring guides will either be those created for specific questions on actual AP English Language exams or those written according to the same guidelines. 3. You will write about literature focusing on critical analysis including expository, analytical, and argumentative essays, as well as creative writing to sharpen your understanding of writers' accomplishments and his or her use of stylistic and rhetorical devices. 4. You will write argumentative essays that synthesize various secondary sources as support, including visual pieces such as political cartoons and advertisements. 5. As a junior in AP Language and Composition, you should have a good command of standard written English. Upon return of graded essays, group instruction of various mechanical and grammar usage issues will be addressed, as well as individual conferences addressing specific needs.
