CANYON CREST ACADEMY

The AP English Language & Composition course provides an opportunity for advanced high school students to pursue and receive credit for college-level course work.  Accordingly, the rigors of the course are intended to be similar to that of introductory college-level rhetorical and composition courses.  Students receive training to become critical thinkers, readers, analysts of language, effective writers, and creative, cogent producers of argument.  Students focus on the writing skills needed to be successful in the course and in their later college work.  Students write effectively for a range of audiences and a variety of purposes, demonstrate mastery of the conventions of standard written language, and use the steps of the writing process as needed.

An important goal of this course is to help prepare students to do well on the AP English Language and Composition exam, given on May 12, 2010.  The course will teach you the expectations of the AP examiners and will provide many opportunities to practice writing and reading in the exam format.
