Writing America: Language and Composition in Context
1st Edition AP® ©2014
Jolliffe
Renowned authors and former Chief Readers, David A. Jolliffe and Hephzibah Roskelly, deliver a truly revolutionary program for the AP Language and Composition classroom.
The first of its kind, Writing America is keyed directly to AP Language and Composition outcomes and carefully aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
This combined reader and rhetoric artfully blends American texts, culture, and history to teach students the rhetorical skills needed for the AP Language and Composition course while engaging them in critical reading, thinking, and writing about timeless issues and contemporary concerns.
Jolliffe and Roskelly help students understand the ways various types of texts and images craft powerful messages for audiences while helping them compose similarly powerful texts themselves through:
- a brief rhetoric designed to teach students how to read critically and analytically
- extensive composition support to help students write forcefully, correctly, and effectively
- a substantial anthology of essays, charts, and images
- coverage from American literature and culture from the 17th century to the present
- robust practice and test prep that underlies success on the AP exam and in challenging high school and college courses
- the most comprehensive teacher support and tools to help scaffold and differentiate instruction and prepare students for the rigors of the AP Exam.
The anthology is organized into six sections, representing six periods of the history of American literature (including non-fiction prose, fiction, poetry, and visuals), and each section contains contemporary selections that take up the themes and issues raised by the primary texts. Full, in-depth, and comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of rhetorical analysis, synthesis, and argument is explored with a focus on developing critical engagement with the variety of texts students read and produce, while also providing sound theoretical and critical knowledge.
