The AP English 11 course in Language and Composition is primarily a course in effective writing and critical reading. The writing skills that students come to appreciate through attentive and continued analysis of a variety of prose texts can serve them in their own writing as they become increasingly aware of these skills and their pertinent uses. American Literature is the primary focus for analysis and reflection. The instructional level equals that of college freshman English courses. All SOL requirements are met and students take both the English EOC Reading and the Writing SOL Tests. Students also prepare for and take the College Board’s Advanced Placement Test and those who receive an acceptable score on the test may receive college credit and/or advanced standing in college.
