    This Advanced Placement English Language course includes the study of rhetoric in conjunction with exposition, analysis, and argument. In accordance with College Board’s 2008 AP English Course Description, this course teaches “students to read primary and secondary sources carefully, to synthesize material from these texts in their own compositions, and to cite sources using conventions recommended by professional organizations such as Modern Language Association (MLA).” Students analyze both fiction and non-fiction from the seventeenth through the twenty-first centuries. They write sixteen in-class essays, three out-of-class analysis papers, and three out-of-class persuasive arguments with attribution. Most of the rough drafts on the out-of-class persuasive papers are begun in class, and the students go through at least two rewrites and peer editing before taking the essays home and typing the final copies. Using a class set of Glencoe’s eleventh grade edition of Grammar and Language Workbook, students refresh themselves in the proper use of American Standard English. Visual argumentation is used from 5 Steps to a 5 and from The Bedford Reader. Students are required to put forth many hours of study and preparation since development of reading, writing and vocabulary is both extensive and intensive.…
