Now that you have become official AP graders, you are starting to notice the subtle differences of an average AP Lang writer and the mature AP Lang writer. What can one do to create that shift? According to my students, there are plenty of avenues to amend: engaging hooks, formal diction (including using the author's last name), specific, original thesis statements, paragraph structure, evidence from various parts of the passage, transitions of evidence, full analysis including purpose, different rhetorical strategies, and lack of distractions.
We will finish the Rangefinders on Monday and then it is time for prompt meetings and class averages.
All quizzes (rhetorical toolbox and vocab) need to be made up by Monday. I can't tell you the answer to the extra credit question until then!
