The Cards Debut

In all classes, we wrapped up our look at the syllabus with reminders of the blog, toolbox assistance, and all the little procedures happening in AP Lang. You also know that our class concentrates around the 4 parts of the exam, beginning with rhetorical analysis, continuing with multiple choice, moving into argumentation, and finishing with synthesis.

Following the technical guidelines, we began our process of vocab experts, copying down unit 11 and preparing your one word for its definition, at least 2 synonyms (preferable not in the book), and a memory trick.

*FYI - If you miss the assigning day for vocab experts, you just don't have one for this round. You will still need to copy down the words and definitions, though. I will explain tomorrow how vocab experts is part of our unit vocab champion.

To end class, we played with cards! Not the ones with jacks, queens, and kings, but the ones with the AP Lang jargon, the terms of your future rhetorical toolbox. We will be bonding with these cards more and more - all to reach complete understanding of the terms and their place in analysis.

Tomorrow will be more cards, our first group review of rhetorical analysis, and the info regarding our first diagnostic prompt - hey, I need to have a baseline of your writing if we are going to figure out what to do this year!
