May 11 - 15

Welcome to the first week of AP testing! Our AP Lang exam is next week, and we'll continue to gear up for it this week and early next. I won't be assigning much in the way of additional work outside of the time that's set aside for this class due to all of the testing.

Also, just a reminder, the last day to turn in late work for partial credit this semester is Wednesday, June 3. 

MONDAY: OPTIONAL Zoom session, in-class essay for those that aren't in AP exams and want the practice and feedback. This will not affect your grade negatively in any way if you don't log in today, and if you don't write it. Log in at the regular times, and I'll share a rhetorical analysis prompt and time you for 45 minutes. For those that do log in, I'll grade it and give you feedback.

Due: n/a

Homework: n/a

WEDNESDAY: Offline, work independently. Please watch the College Board AP video "Identifying and Analyzing Relationships Between Elements in a Text." This video covers repetition, parallelism, and other syntactical features in texts and is an excellent review.

FRIDAY: Login at the regular Zoom time for a live class. We will walk through a rhetorical analysis prompt as a whole class, reviewing all of the steps. Look at an optional reference sheet you may want to use that's been on the class website.

Please click here and scroll to page 47 to find the rhetorical analysis prompt: a letter to Napoleon by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
