A.P. English Literature & Composition (Period 3)

Welcome to AP English Literature! This year-long advanced course is designed to introduce and engage you in examining literature from a variety of genres, time periods, and countries. Each semester is divided into thematic units, offering a selection of prose fiction, drama, poetry, and non-fiction. In this course, we will not only examine a piece of literature for its content, but we will delve deeper into the larger issues presented within the work through a close interpretation of historical context, and social implications. This course is unlike any other you have taken thus far, and although it is a lot of work, what you learn will be integral in your successful transition into college-level literary analysis and writing.
