CURRICULUM
(Course
Description)
The AP English Literature and Composition course aligns to an introductory collegelevel . The course engages students in the close reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature to deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure. As they read, students consider a work’s structure, style, and themes, as well as its use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone. Writing assignments include expository, analytical, and argumentative essays that require students to analyze and interpret literary works.
The seminar in academic writing through literature is designed to introduce students to the work of the university through interdisciplinary and literary reading; students examine and use the practices of academic writers, situating themselves in a conversation with other writers, engaging with them in meaningful ways, and developing new ways of approaching texts.Strength in writing comes from learning not only how to analyze and interpret assigned and researched texts but also how to edit and properly revise formal writing assignments.
Students will be required to write 25 pages of polished prose with an emphasis on revision essays.
