Features
Grammar as Rhetoric and Style. A favorite in The Language of Composition, adapted here for the American literature course. These sections go beyond simple right and wrong to help students analyze the rhetorical effects of grammatical choices.

"This is an exciting book for AP English Language and Composition teachers and for me in particular. This is a comprehensive textbook that includes materials that most teachers painstakingly come up with on their own. Having such a resource would save AP English Language and Composition teachers a great deal of time. In particular, I really like the conversation sections and the weaving in of contemporary pieces."—Frances Fok, Landstown HS and Technology Academy, VA"The chosen texts span American history and will enable students to tackle the bigger thematic questions about being an American and America's changing identity. I think the Conversation sections will be engaging and can generate interesting synthesis essays." —Allison Casper, Revere High School, MA"This book does an admirable job of combining fiction, non-fiction, and visual texts. My favorite part, however, is the Conversation sections. Other textbooks may have limited suggestions for synthesizing material (e.g., compare this essay to that short story, etc.), but this text actually provides a reasonable number of sources that can be used to argue a position. This more closely resembles the synthesis question on the AP exam."—Valerie Morehouse, Flint Hill School, VA
