Students in this course are taught to read critically by focusing their attention on the choices that authors make in relation to social context(s), audience(s), and purpose(s) . Most texts used throughout the year will be nonfiction and will come from a variety of formal and informal sources and genres (e.g., academic journals, advertisements, scientific arguments, letters, political cartoons, critical essays, charts and graphs, etc.) . In conjunction with reading and analyzing texts of such variety, students will also be required to produce formal and informal writings of the same sort; consequently, the course helps students become skilled, rhetorical writers who compose for a variety of purposes within a variety of contexts. Students learn to write while making their own choices that pay strict attention to social context(s), target audience(s), rhetorical mode(s), and overall purpose(s) .  \nAP English Language and Composition enables students to read complex texts with understanding, while also teaching them to write prose of sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers. The ultimate goal of building the rhetorical skills the class fosters is to help mold students into individuals who will actively and intelligently engage with the world around them. The AP English Language and Composition course helps students move beyond reading for mere comprehension, and it moves them past composing programmatic responses; it encourages them to think critically and purposefully about the rhetorical choices that authors make, and it leads them to consider the choices they make when deciding to add their voice into any given discourse: civil or academic.  \nStudents must take the AP exam in May to receive AP credit on their transcript. A qualifying score of three (3) or better on the AP exam may earn a student college credit.  \nStudent Outcomes and Goals  \nAfter completing the course, participating students1 will have developed:  \n• Close reading skills focusing on the rhetorical movements of authors. In doing such, students will be able to read critically while evaluating an author’s style and means of producing certain effects on the desired audience.  \n• The ability to produce complex thesis statements while subsequently supporting the aforementioned with evidence and commentary in a clear and logical fashion.  \n• The ability to synthesize information from various sources—formal and non—in order to strengthen their own arguments. This coincides with developing their own ability to rely on their own life experiences as ample means of support for their arguments.  \n• The ability to realize that authors make rhetorical and stylistic choices to achieve their purpose(s); consequently, students will move to be more purposeful in their own communications in order to adequately and/or effectively engage their audience(s) in any contextual discourse whether the opportunities for such arise within academic or civil environments.  \nCourse Expectations  \nAs this is a high school course operating at a college-level course, performance expectations are appropriately high, and the work is challenging. That is not to say that there will be more work throughout this course than a typical honors course; but rather, AP assignments will require responses that explore the uses and functions of language at a greater depth. Students are expected to commit time outside of class to personal study of the course content; homework assignments, in conjunction with independent-study materials, may be found on the course website. Often, work in this class involves assignments that have extended deadlines, so it is expected that students have—or prepare to quickly d","cbCaiaUsGVQwtnJa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaUsGVQwtnJa","pdf",143414,"English","# Course Overview\n# Student Outcomes and Goals\n# Course Expectations\n# Primary Texts\n# Secondary Texts\n# Grading Guidelines\n## Classwork, Homework, and Participation\n## Daily Overviews","[{\"question\":\"What skills does the course emphasize for AP English Language and Composition?\",\"answer\":\"Students focus on close reading of authors’ rhetorical moves, evaluating style and the effects created for an intended audience.
