Today's class allowed for our first full MC exam - 5 passages full of various readings, modes of discourse, inferences, tones, context, and even footnotes to round out the questions. The plan is to review the exam during Thursday's class, so if you were absent today, then you have 2 options: you can attempt to make it up during a study hall (if applicable) or after school tomorrow or you will take it during class time on Thursday.
After the exam, we spent quality time looking at the AP exam in full, how its scored (calculations!), and why you after all of the prompts, tone work, writing samples, MC passages, and related AP Lang work have the opportunity to score well on the exam. With 2 months (and a couple weeks) to go, you have plenty of opportunities to review and practice all of the skills (or learn them for the first time if that is the case). As you may have ascertained, I prefer to give you every possible chance at practice and assessment so that your May test will be a familiar day of school for you.
P.S. Don't forget about your philosophical argumentative prompt that is due by 2:40 p.m. on Thursday. All details are on a previous blog in case you forgot the rules and regulations. With your prewriting box prompt in hand, you should be able to compose this essay with greater confidence. Do your best and don't forget to be honest with the timing!
