5 units T/F, 8:30-12:00 Flossie Lewis $407
Students in AP English Language and Composition will develop the reading skills to understand and respond to rich and complex works of literature. We will learn to explore the meaning of a literary work and to analyze the way in which it is written. In doing so, we will examine the writer's purposes: why the author wants to write--wants to speak--in the first place. In preparation for reading and for life, as well as for the AP Exam in English Language and Composition in May 2004, we will read across genres, styles, voices, points of view, and narratives. We will write many essays and engage in heated discussions.
Prerequisite: Completion of at least freshman year of high school or permission of the Director. Completion of at least sophomore year is recommended.
Homework per class meeting: 4-6 hours
IMPORTANT NOTE: The 5-unit option concludes with the end of the regular ATDP summer session. The 10-unit option has 6 additional meetings to be arranged during the following school year.
