The AP English Literature & Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level literary analysis course. The course is designed to challenge a student’s ability to think critically, to analyze and evaluate literature and its literary devices, and to write analytical essays effectively. The course aims to refine and improve the student’s writing style, voice, grammar, mechanics, organization, and expression, culminating in a research paper focused on literary criticism using current MLA standards and electronic sources.
This course aligns with the College Board’s learning goals for AP English Literature & Composition.
