AP Lang Evaluations

After vocabulary and the conclusion of "The Story of an Hour" purpose and strategy analysis, we spent the remainder of the hour delineating the evaluation process for AP Lang essays. Using the inspiration of your first rhetorical analysis essay, you are gleaning the necessary requirements for this particular writing style. Via examples and tips. you witnessed the many components that construct a mature rhetorical analysis essay: complex purposes, upper level rhetorical strategies, non-distracting evidence incorporation, and little details that help a composition escalate from a 1 to a 9 (or at least an 8). Yes, there are a lot of things to do for mature writing. And, we will be working on all these elements during the entire course -- individually and as a class -- so that you can improve with each essay.

For next class, we will begin with our vocabulary. Then, first hour will dive directly into one-on-one conferences regarding the Gladwell prompt. Third and seventh hour, we will finish the power point tips, return essays, and then have our conferences.

After conferences, we will be looking at samples for picking out strategies and then you will have a group rhetorical analysis to work on next week.
