Synthesis Essay

Today in class:
Students wrote a synthesis essay from the 2008 AP Exam. You had 55 minutes total to complete the essay (15 for reading the six documents and planning your position/40 minutes to write the essay). Keep in mind that when you sit for the AP exam in May, you will only have TWO hours to finish the three essays. I've said it before and I'll say it again (and probably many more times before May): WEAR A WATCH on the day of the exam and plan accordingly!

After the essay, we began reading Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own," p. 1074 in the Norton Reader. As you read, take annotations on the rhetoric Woolf uses to craft her purpose. 

After reading, TAP the essay and, on p. 1084, answer questions #1, #2 and #3.
