Student Writing Leaders Week

With inconsistent class scheduling this week, AP Lang has focused on reviewing close reading, rhetorical analysis, multiple choice, and prompt writing to wrap up all the skills in one lovely little package. The block scheduling has also been a time for analyzing the various parts of your practice exam with your classmates becoming the leaders & you picking their brains for all the tips of strategy, writing, and whatnot.

1, 3, 7: At this point, all of these classes have completed passages 6a-6e, including close reads, charts, and multiple choice passages. In addition, you completed a three paragraph (intro, 2 body) mini-essay on a random prompt. All of the above was turned in for a grade during Wednesday's class. As for the practice exam, we started with student-led meetings regarding the synthesis prompt, and student-led close readings of the rhetorical analysis prompt with follow-up questions from the audience.

4: As with the previous hours, we have finished passages 6a-6e with close readings, charts, and multiple choice passages. For homework, you have to complete a three paragraph mini-essay on a random prompt. All of this will be turned in tomorrow, so make sure you have all of your materials ready to go. In the middle of class, we had our student-led meetings regarding the synthesis prompt, and tomorrow we will have a variant of this plan for the rhetorical analysis. F.Y.I. At this point in the grading of the practice exam, there have been two 9 essays, one in rhetoric and one in argument, and both of these have come from your class.
