The AP English Language and Composition course is designed to help students become skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and rhetorical contexts and to become skilled writers who can compose for a variety of purposes. By their writing and reading in this course, students should become aware of the interactions among a writer's purposes, audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effective writing.

Students will write argument-based assignments leading to an independently researched project based on academic and professional goals. Students will be required to 1.) find and integrate a variety of sources, 2.) read and analyze these sources, 3.) develop strong thesis statements that reflect perspectives on topics or issues, and 4.) construct persuasive arguments that engage with the viewpoints of experts and commentators. As the term progresses, students will have the opportunity to re-think or revise the ideas and perspectives they explored in earlier writing assignments by engaging with peer feedback and revising earlier drafts. Placement recommendations will require students to take ENGL 101 as a three-credit course OR in conjunction with an additional credit of lab or studio instruction. Students who earn F or NP grades in ENGL 101 will be required to re-take the course in conjunction with a one-credit Writing Studio course. Course Objectives (1) Engage in process-oriented approaches to writing, think collaboratively about writing, and provide constructive peer feedback. (2) Consider audience and purpose for each rhetorical situation, with attention to the development of argument and appropriate support. (3) Locate, evaluate, and integrate primary and secondary sources in order to situate ideas in conversation with other authors and texts. (4) Follow conventions for proper source documentations and correct grammar, spelling, and mechanics. (5) Analyze arguments from a variety of sources.
