Nine chapters in this edition means it’s easy to align to the new AP Course and Exam
Description’s nine units. Yet the flexible structure you know and love hasn’t changed:
Skill-building opening chapters are followed by an engaging thematic anthology of some
of the best nonfiction writing from the past and present. We know that not every school,
teacher, or classroom is the same — and you need a book that’s right for you. Now, you
don’t have to choose a one-size-fits-all option. With The Language of Composition, Fourth
Edition, you can use the book however you see fit — it’s flexible enough to make it your
®
own, with enough structure and guidance to adhere closely to the AP course scope and
®
sequence and the AP Classroom Personal Progress Checks (PPCs), if you so choose.
Take a look at how we’ve incorporated the course units without sacrificing any of
the flexibility you need to teach effectively.
