Welcome to AP Literature!

 Advanced Placement Literature and Composition is a college level English course that, in addition to satisfying the 12th grade English requirement, also fosters the ability to read and analyze literary texts closely and insightfully.  Our focus is on close, critical reading of English prose and poetry from the sixteenth century to the present as well as classical works from the Greek and Roman canon. Students will also be exposed to literary criticism and theory. Critical discussion and writing about these works will center on the techniques that writers use to develop theme, style, and tone.  The overarching goal of A.P. English is to help the student develop mature habits of critical thinking as an independent reader of and writer about literature.  This class is both demanding and intellectually stimulating.  On the average students will be required to write a timed composition every two to three weeks.  Students are expected to learn terminology specific to college level literary analysis and will also receive grammar instruction as the need dictates. Classroom discussion and active participation are vital for obtaining critical skills necessary for college level analysis.
