The purpose of this course is to help students “write effectively and confidently in their college
courses across the curriculum and in their professional and personal lives” (The College Board,
AP® English Course Description, p.6). The course is organized according to the requirements and
guidelines of the current AP English Course Description, and therefore, students are expected to
read critically, think analytically, and communicate clearly both in writing and speech. This course
looks at the ways writers use language, style, and rhetoric to create meaning. Through this course,
students will become mature and sophisticated consumers and creators of a variety of texts with
an emphasis on non-fiction.
