Welcome to AP Language and Composition!
This website will be our off campus meeting place for AP Language. You can access assignments and due dates on the assignments page. You can download resources and click on the hyperlinks to access online materials. You can find practice resources and tests on the "Practice Tests" page . You can share your ideas and observations with classmates through your posts on the blog page. Please enjoy and make good use of this space, and, if you have suggestions, please share them with me so we can make this resource as useful to you as possible.
For your edification (and so that you may give yourselves a pat on the back for the gravity of your AP endeavors), I am posting below the College Board's description of the AP Language and Composition course:
The AP English Language and Composition course is designed to engage students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of rhetorical contexts and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way genre conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing.
The goal of the AP English Language and Composition course is to enable students to read complex texts with understanding and to write prose of sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers.
