Course Introduction
The AP English Literature and Composition course focuses on reading, analyzing, and writing about imaginative literature (fiction, poetry, drama) from various periods. Students engage in close reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature to deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure. As they read, students consider a work’s structure, style, and themes, as well as its use of figurative language, imagery, and symbolism. Writing assignments include expository, analytical, and argumentative essays that require students to analyze and interpret literary works.

Course Content
The course content is organized into nine units, arranged in a logical, suggested sequence. Teachers create their own curricula by selecting and sequencing texts and tasks, and students develop the skills of literary analysis and composition as they repeatedly practice analyzing poetry and prose, then compose arguments about interpretations of literary works. At the end of each unit, teachers have the option of assigning Personal Progress Checks to gauge student progress.
The suggested unit organization is as follows:
■ Short Fiction (Units 1, 4, 7)
■ Poetry (Units 2, 5, 8)
■ Longer Fiction or Drama (Units 3, 6, 9)
