AP® English Literature & Composition

Course Length

1 Semester

AP English Literature and Composition is designed to be a college/university-level course. This course equips students to critically analyze all forms of literature to comment insightfully about an author or genre’s use of style or literary device.

Students also interpret meaning based on form; examine the trademark characteristics of literary genres and periods; and critique literary works through expository, analytical, and argumentative essays. As students consider styles and devices, they will apply them to their creative writing. In addition to exposing students to college-level English coursework, this course prepares them for the AP exam.
