All the classes are in the same spot!
First, we finished our analysis of the MC test and its passages, tricks, and tips to scoring higher next time, which is appropriate since we have to take a post-test District assessment next week. Hopefully, all this practice and tests will help you with this one.
Second, we looked at the rangefinders for the Certainty/Doubt Philosophical Argumentative Prompt, which featured some lenient scoring due to the fact it was the first time this style of argument occurred on the test. After seven years of abstract nouns and exemplification, you have to assume that the standards are much higher now.
Third, you received the assignment for our next exemplification argument: What is humanity's greatest flaw? For homework, you need to brainstorm possible flaws, select a FLAW, figure out your 4 examples for the flaw, select a COUNTERFLAW with one example for it, and write a working claim for the essay. I highly recommend thinking of flaws hat may be surprising, original, or engaging to help bolster your overall score and keep your interest in writing the essay!
F.Y.I. We will have a very busy week in AP Lang, so make sure that you are in class and completing all of your work to end the quarter strongly. We saved the big assignments for last his quarter, so you need to finish strong and put all of that tone, allusion, exemplification, and argument knowledge to your best advantage.
