AP Language & Composition
Assigned Faculty: David Rosenberg
Course Description:
Students in this college-level English course read and carefully analyze a broad and challenging range of nonfiction and fiction prose selections, deepening their awareness of how language works in effectively communicating an idea. Through close reading and frequent formal and informal writing, students develop their ability to work with language and text with a greater awareness of purpose and strategy, while strengthening their own writing abilities. The purpose of this course is to promote critical thinking and writing. Multiple modes of instruction and informational materials ranging from film clips to speech writing will be incorporated to enrich student recognition, comprehension, and execution of rhetorical analysis. The expectation and rigor of this course will therefore be high and the workload challenging.
