Course Description

Students in AP English Language and Composition study how writers use language to create meaning. Students will read a variety of nonfiction prose and will analyze many styles and genres including essays, journalism, political writing, science writing, nature writing, autobiographies/biographies, diaries, speeches, history writing, and criticism. They focus the majority of their practice on writing expository, analytical, and argumentative essays. Analysis is based on writers who are listed in the AP English Course Description. In addition to writing, students also study visual rhetoric such as photographs, advertisements, and political cartoons. As suggested in the AP English Course Description, students learn “to read primary and secondary sources carefully, to synthesize material from these texts in their own compositions, and to cite sources using conventions recommended by the Modern Language Association.” The class is structured around teaching reading and writing skills honed by close reading of and writing original student essays, many of which are products of several revisions.

This content is presented in an online course through which students will view lectures from experienced highly qualified instructors, access nonfiction rhetoric (written and visual), and practice close reading and writing skills with continual feedback from instructors by means of various communication technologies, including phone, Instant Message, email, discussion thread, and live chat.

Course Description

Literature and Composition is designed to be a college/university-level course. This course equips students to critically analyze all forms of literature in order to comment insightfully about an author or genre’s use of style or literary device. Students will also interpret meaning based on form; examine the trademark characteristics of literary genres and periods; and critique literary works through expository,
analytical, and argumentative essays. As students consider styles and devices, they will apply them to their creative writing. In addition to exposing students to college-level English coursework, this course prepares them for the AP exam.

As the Student

What are students going to do in this course? This is a legitimate question. In fact, there are several essential questions that will guide students’ discovery and inquiry of literature throughout the course.

• How does literature simultaneously provide a vicarious experience while helping to understand one self?
• How does literature express universal themes
• How does a close reading of literature serve as an avenue to enjoying and appreciating literature? These questions may seem lofty and idealistic, but students will be surprised to see the ways in which they connect to their everyday activities. Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to approach a piece of literature (prose, poem, play, etc.)—moving beyond initial and purely emotional reactions—and respond to it critically both orally and in writing. Instead of merely identifying literary and stylistic devices, students will use them to illuminate their insights.

  These ideas help to form the foundation of the course’s goals:

• To read carefully and analyze imaginative literature
• To identify the style of a selection and make connections between meaning and form
• To examine a variety of works from different genres and periods
• To learn and understand a selected work very well
• To write, focusing on critical analysis of literature including expository, analytical, and argumentative essays as well as creative writing, to sharpen understanding a text’s accomplishments and to deepen appreciation of literary artistry
