Welcome to English 12 AP Literature and Composition. This rigorous course will prepare you for college-level reading, writing, and literary analysis. The reading is challenging and frequent and requires an independent mind. You will be asked to use various sources, including critical essays, to view works of literature through various lenses and to consider them from multiple perspectives.
We will function as a community of learners. If you are committed to the work as well as to listening and learning from each other, this class will ultimately become one in which we are all teachers and students. Each member of the class will have a voice. We will learn from each other, read our writing aloud, work collaboratively on revisions, and share our thoughts, ideas, and observations with one another.
