AP English Language and Composition
AP English Language and Composition is an intensive reading and writing course. It is geared toward college-bound students, and if students receive a 4 or 5 on the AP exam in May, they might earn college credit based on their score.
Since this class is nonfiction-based, students who take this class as a junior are encouraged by Ms. White to take AP Literature and Composition as a senior to fill in the literature gap. Click on the top tabs for specific information about this class. |
