1 & 7: We continued with vocabulary, adding words to our vernacular. Then, we discussed the importance of utilizing your pen/pencil when dealing with prompts. First, always break down the prompt, circling/underlining/whatever geometrical figure you prefer. By breaking down the prompt, you have a directed focus prior to reading and will be less likely to make a mistake regarding your essay and the background information. Second, always close read the text, finding key words and phrases that will lead you to rhetorical strategies. Even if you are not aware of a strategy's name at first, you will start to notice patterns that will lead you there! For homework, AP graders, you are to indicate the number of each rangefinder. You will find out if you are correct during class tomorrow. Your prompts will be returned at some point during the week.
3: We reviewed vocabulary, which means your second vocab quiz is tomorrow! Otherwise, everything above is true for your class, so make sure you read the synopsis for first and seventh hours.
