The Crucible: AP Language and Composition

This unit is designed for the AP Language classroom that incorporates American Literature. It combines multiple AP skills (reading visual texts, synthesis, argument, rhetorical analysis, etc) while moving through the text. Preferably positioned in the second semester, this unit does not go into depth about the rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, or reasoning and organization, but their understanding of each is practiced and honed. If you wanted to incorporate this earlier, plan to spend time building understanding of those concepts (i.e. exigence, thesis, counterclaim, etc).
