We are surrounded by written language that is often used intentionally to achieve a purpose. In AP English Language and Composition, students read nonfiction texts through the eyes of a writer, exploring the choices writers and speakers make to persuade their audience. By analyzing how writing is composed, students will be able to construct their own persuasive pieces. Students will be expected to read closely, analyze, and interpret a piece of writing; evaluate a source of information; gather and consolidate information from different sources, write an evidence-based argument; and draft and revise a piece of writing.
