Description: AP English Language & Composition prepares students for reading and writing at the college level. The first semester guides students through the writing process of a 200-level college course. Students then practice these techniques in a 5-7 page research paper. The second semester uses this deeper understanding of high-level writing to prepare students for the specific challenges AP English Language & Composition exam, culminating in a full practice AP exam. Assignments use a repeating 3-part cycle to support student success: instruction and information, application and practice, and feedback and fine-tuning. This cycle shows students how the instruction applies directly to their personal writing styles, strengths, and challenges.
