AP English Literature & Composition Vocabulary List 
Directions: 
  • You will learn a list set every week or two in the order they appear (as assigned)
  • Copy down the word into your composition book

  • Produce an example sentence following the instruction (for example, for list 1, the first ten words, you will compose sentences that feature compound constructions and are set in cathedrals)
  • If you work ahead, just know that I may change a few words in an upcoming list based on words I see in the week's readings (especially true with poetry in quarter 3).
