Other than I renamed several students today -- sorry -- we spent the first half of class explaining multiple choice passages 3e & 5e. As you become more accustomed to AP-style multiple choice questions, you may notice that process of elimination has become easier for you and accuracy has become stronger for you. This will continue to grow as we work on modes of discourse (process analysis, cause & effect, exemplification, and argumentation all next week), vocabulary (it's back!), tone words (block day tone writings), and allusions (posters).
Beyond multiple choice, we looked at the Fredericksburg prompt from the final, and you averaged your rhetorical analysis prompts from the semester. Ideally, you want to average a 5 or above. If you are still working toward that average, we have time to fine-tune your writing (mechanical review next week) and work on rhetorical analysis skills (March). Remember, there are 4 components of the test -- multiple choice, rhetorical analysis, argument, and synthesis. You will have your strongest component and your weakest component. Once we determine that, we can work on strategies to improve and utilize the strengths and weaknesses.
Last up was the copying and assigning of vocab unit 16. We will begin that on Monday in addition to going over multiple choice passages 9e & 10e from the packet.
