The course is designed to be equivalent to an entry-level college English course, and it is therefore more rigorous, both in quantity and quality of readings and writings, than other high school Language Arts courses.  \nAs delineated by the College Board, AP Language will acquaint students with readings and writings that are expository, argumentative, evaluative, and narrative. Daily texts will be predominantly non-fiction, and in essay form, but there will also be some fiction and poetry assigned to meet local standards. These fictional texts will be used to help students formulate critical analyses and arguments that focus on the author, purpose, audience connection.  \nThe study of logic, Aristotelian-styled, will be learned and used, as well as applying logic and evaluation to arguments, sources, and images. Visual literacy, and the discerning of visual arguments, is another necessary skill, and part of the course is designed to meet this need. In addition, students will pay particular attention to the relationship between writer and audience, as well as how each relates to the material, by studying and applying the Aristotelian Triangle and use of tone, syntax, diction, and more.  \nAs analyzing others’ rhetoric and applying these skills to writing is preparation for a successful college education, so is being able to orally present argument and information, and therefore, this course will also integrate speaking skills and information presentation in its scope. Socratic seminars will be an ongoing process, as will formal speeches and multimedia presentations. Students will also be expected to learn better research methods and discernment, and apply the MLA guidelines to their formal writing.  \nAs successfully passing the AP Language and Composition Exam is often considered the equivalent of a first-year College English course, the objectives ofthis course are to meet those same standards. Students will, upon successful completion of the course, be prepared for further college-level thinking, writing, reading, and information processing.  \nAP Objectives (from English Language and Composition Course Description 2010, College Board)  \nUpon completing the AP English Language and Composition course, then students should be able to:  \n􀁸 analyze and interpret samples of good writing, identifying and explaining an author’s use of rhetorical strategies and techniques  \n􀁸 apply effective strategies and techniques in their own writing  \n􀁸 create and sustain arguments based on readings, research and/or personal experience  \n􀁸 write for a variety of purposes  \n􀁸 produce expository, analytical and argumentative compositions that introduce a complex central idea and develop it with appropriate evidence drawn from primary and/or secondary sources, cogent explanations and clear transitions  \n􀁸 demonstrate understanding and mastery of standard written English as well as stylistic maturity in their own writings  \n􀁸 demonstrate understanding of the conventions of citing primary and secondary sources  \n􀁸 move effectively through the stages ofthe writing process, with careful attention to inquiry and research, drafting, revising, editing and review  \n􀁸 Work with peers and instructor to improve writing  \no This may include peer editing and/or teacher review/revision.  \n􀁸 write thoughtfully about their own process of composition  \n􀁸 revise a work to make it suitable for a different audience  \n􀁸 analyze image as text  \n􀁸 evaluate and incorporate reference documents into researched papers  \nThe AP Exam: Wednesday, May 10, 2017  \nYearly, the AP English Language and Composition Development Committee prepares an exam that gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of the skills and abilities previously described.
