AP English IV- Literature and Composition
This course combines the study of British Literature with the study of fiction, both prose and poetry. According to the College Board, "students can deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure for their readers. As they read, students should consider a work's structure, style, and themes, as well as such smaller-scale elements as the use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone." This course is a semester long course, and while it is not required for students to take AP English III, it is highly recommended.
