AP English: Brand New Exam Review

Contrary to the description listed on the general College Board website, the review classes they will provide are three separate subtopics that all cover the general learning goal (are you still with me)?!

Please make room in your schedule for next week to attend these sessions, or plan to view them this week after they've been recorded and posted.

COLLEGE BOARD AP REVIEW CLASS SESSIONS - NEW, CLICK HERE

Wednesday, March 25,  12:00 - 12:45 p.m. Pacific Time
English Language: Identifying the Rhetorical Situation in a Pre-Twentieth Century Text

Thursday, March 26, 12:00 - 12:45 p.m. Pacific Time
English Language: Analyzing How Word Choice Reflects a Writer’s Understanding of Audience

Friday, March 27, 12:00 - 12:45 p.m. Pacific Time
English Language: Explaining the Significance or Relevance of the Writer’s Use of Sophisticated Word

Learning Goal for all Three: Explain how an argument demonstrates understanding of an audience’s beliefs, values, or needs.

There is a furious (and incredibly nerdy) debate on an online forum for AP Lang teachers about which essay, or free response question type, will be chosen by the College Board for the exam. I'll spare you the details, but it's looking like Rhetorical Analysis cannot be ruled out, based on the topics they have opted to cover in these classes.
