We continue to move at different phases in the AP Lang world, but everything related back to rhetorical analysis in some fashion. With second quarter commencing next week, we will continue with rhetorical analysis and diction, tone, and pathos before looking at fallacies and argumentation.
1: After vocab experts, we continued to identify and analyze syntax via two sample passages: The Reader and an AP prompt. At this point, you have close read the latter passage for syntax, and we will incorporate your findings in class on Tuesday. Make sure to reread the passage for next class, so that you have a fresh understanding after the three-day weekend.
3: Due to time constraints, our class was quizzy today with the vocab quiz for unit 14 and the grading of your syntax quiz from last class. Next week will be our transition into diction.
5: After our vocab 14 quiz, we graded our syntax quiz and then completed the team close read - or at least phase one of the team close read. Now that we have a close reading completed, you worked in your number groups to compose a team thesis statement having all of those main requirements of author, active verb, specific strategies, and mature purpose. For homework, you each have one of the strategies from your thesis statement, and you will write an incredibly strong body paragraph. If absent today, you will need to write your own thesis statement and choose one of the strategies from the thesis to write one body paragraph.
