Welcome to AP Language & Composition. While I have been a derelict with summer blogging (best intentions, I promise you), I do update the blog every school day with overviews of our class content, previews of future assignments and strategies, and hints for improvement. As of this moment, I am revising the AP Lang syllabus -- again. The syllabus for this class is an organic document and will adjust in readings, assignments, and prompts in order to help the class succeed in all required elements.
This course differs from your average English class. How so? Our class concentrates on three areas of writing: rhetorical analysis (the what and the why), argumentation (claims and whatnot), and synthesis (incorporating multiple texts and citations). Underneath the umbrella of each area, we will study modes of discourse, multiple choice strategies, and writing methods to help you for AP testing and college-level writing and analyses.
While you are waiting impatiently to have the syllabus in your hands on Tuesday, I would like to give you a few suggestions for common writing errors. Instead of typing out all these hints again, I will advise you to check out the links to blogs from last year's course. While we will be working on all of these items at some point during the class, you may start improving these mechanical faults at the start of the year and from your own study as well.
READ THESE. PRACTICE THESE. WRITE CORRECTLY PLEASE.
