AP English Language and Composition focuses on rhetoric. Students will study language as a persuasive tool and examine the integral relationships of writer, context, audience, and argument. Focusing primarily on nonfiction works, students will write formally and informally through revised essays, journals, collaborative writing, and in‐class responses, as well as produce expository and argumentative compositions that introduce complex ideas developed through cogent and sustained reasoning.
