    Objectives:

     
    Advanced Placement English Language and Composition is a rigorous and challenging course taught at a college-level and designed to develop writing language and analysis skills.  In this class, students learn that writing is a craft, something more than function and formula.  The instructor's primary goal is to create strong writers with the necessary skills to write effectively in their college courses and in their personal and professional lives.  This course introduces critical thinking strategies and the canons of rhetoric while developing style and trope concepts through an exploration of primarily non-fiction argumentative and expository texts.
