Welcome to AP Literature! The goals for the year are...
Students will analyze works within a variety of literary themes and genre from the Greek mythological and dramatic tradition to literature in the British and American traditions.
Students will learn general vocabulary, literary terms/conventions and linguistic/rhetorical structures and apply to challenging literature.
Students will learn the discipline of constructing meaning from a text through knowledge of the environment in which the text was written.
Students will become independent, mature, informed, and experienced readers — people whose understanding of a text derives from their sensitivity to its art and their ability to deal intelligently with all of its elements.
Students will develop a mature writing style both authoritative and analytical brought about by responsive and responsible readings.
Students will pass the AP Literature and Composition Exam.
