1 AP English Literature and Composition Syllabus Mrs. Burleson, Room 208 Understandings: As a result of the course, students will understand that: Literature provides a mirror to help us understand ourselves and others. Writing is a form of communication across the ages. Literature reflects the human condition. Literature deals with universal themes, i.e., man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. self, man vs. God. Essential Questions: These arguable, recurring, and thought-provoking questions will guide inquiry and point toward the big ideas of the course. How does literature help us understand ourselves and others? How has writing become a communication tool across the ages? How does literature reflect the human condition? How does literature express universal themes? Literature reflects its social, cultural, and historical values. COURSE DESCRIPTION: AP English Literature and Composition is designed to be a college/university level course, thus the AP designation on a transcript rather than H (Honors) or CP (College Prep). This course will provide you with the intellectual challenges and workload consistent with a typical undergraduate university English literature/humanities course. As a culmination of the course, you will take the AP English Literature and Composition Exam given in May. A grade of 4 or 5 on this exam is considered equivalent to a for comparable courses at the college or university level. A student who earns a grade of 3 or above on the exam will be granted college credit at most colleges and universities throughout the United States. COURSE GOALS: 1. To carefully read and critically analyze imaginative literature. 2. To understand the way writers use language to provide meaning and pleasure. 3. To consider a work s structure, style, and themes as well as such smaller scale elements such as the use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone. 4. To study representative works from various genres and periods (from the sixteenth to the twentieth century) but to know a few works extremely well.
2 5. To understand a work s complexity, to absorb richness of meaning, and to analyze how meaning is embodied in literary form. 6. To consider the social and historical values a work reflects and embodies. 7. To write focusing on critical analysis of literature including expository, analytical, and argumentative essays as well as creative writing to sharpen understanding of writers accomplishments and deepen appreciation of literary artistry. 8. To become aware of, through speaking, listening, reading, and chiefly writing, the resources of language: connotation, metaphor, irony, syntax, and tone. REQUIRED TEXTS AND MATERIALS: Students are expected to bring all relevant books or materials to class on the days assigned. This includes paper and a writing utensil. AP Lit Writing Portfolio- It is important that students keep all class materials organized. A large portion of the grade for each quarter will come from the submission of a portfolio to be kept in a three ring binder. This binder should be exclusive to this course and not contain any other materials. Technology- It is expected that students will regularly have access to either a computer or tablet with internet access for both reading and writing assignments. All drafts of all written assignments (essays, etc.) must be typed in MLA format and will be turned in via . Students must maintain good standing with the school s Acceptable Use Policy and make sure they know their user IDs and passwords for their network logins as well as their school Google accounts. Books: While many texts will be provided for your use in the AP Literature and Composition course, the student should consider obtaining a personal copy of the various novels, plays, epics, poems, and short fiction used in the course. All titles may also be found in the local library branches. Some of the works used can also be accessed online. Our main text for this course will be Meyer, Michael, ed. The Bedford Introduction to Literature: Reading, Thinking, Writing. Bedford/St. Martin's., however, we will frequently supplement this text with other materials such as: Short fiction and essays as selected Poetry as selected Dramatic Works- as selected Wuthering Heights, Brontë Modern novels as selected The Tragedy of Macbeth, Shakespeare Beowulf, Anonymous The Canterbury Tales Chaucer
3 PERFORMANCE TASKS: Timed essays based on past AP prompts Essay questions as required of college-level writers Reading/responding to/analyzing novels, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry Imaginative writing including but not limited to: poetry, imitative structures Literary analysis papers expository and persuasive Personal essay Reader s Log- double-entry journal WRITING EXPECTATIONS As this is a literature and composition course, you will be expected to use every assignment that involves writing to practice your best composition skills. Composition assignments will include: statements, paragraphs, timed writes (essay tests), and formal essays (personal, expository and argumentative). No matter the kind of writing assigned, your best composition skills should be practiced. We will work with various composition constructions, Standard Written English, sentence variety, and word choice. 1. Many times you will be asked for your opinion or idea about an aspect of a work of literature. You will post these to a discussion board. Please use complete sentences with clear support for your ideas. 2. Students will be responsible for keeping a log of reactions and reading responses to each piece of literature read in class. Logs must include quotations and student responses to material. 3. All assignments for formal papers will include a specific grading rubric. We will go over the rubrics prior to submitting papers and review expectations for the particular composition or paper. Please consult each rubric carefully before submitting your work. You will be expected to rewrite larger papers and literary analysis after you receive feedback. 4. Timed writes (essay tests) will present a scoring guide as feedback. These will be scoring guides as use by the AP English Literature and Composition Exam for that specific question. 5. Students must demonstrate an ability to produce written compositions that are clear, with revision, in their intention, well organized, and supported by evidence. 6. Grammar and usage: As a senior in an AP English Literature and Composition course, you should have a good command of Standard Written English. There will be mini-lessons throughout the course dealing with complex grammar and usage issues, sentence constructions, and diction. Sentence structure and variety is an ongoing component of all teacher-led and/or peer review activities in this course.
