Synthesis

We completed our last diagnostic prompt today, and it covered the synthesis writing portion of the AP exam. Synthesis is the best of all the AP Lang world: you have to construct an argument, analyze passages for evidence, and properly cite sources to gain a base value of a 5. We will talk more about synthesis in the upcoming days after we go over how to write argumentative essays in various scenarios (timed vs. untimed). 

This is a reminder to any absentees on Monday to complete the chart for make-up allusion quests that was shared with you yesterday. I think all of us would like to put that one in the books.
