Today in class we began practicing for the mulitiple choice portion of the AP Language exam. As stated in class, the best way to arrive at the correct answer is to always eliminate the wrong answers first. Since the College Board is no longer penalizing students for incorrect answers, it is to your absolute advantage to take an educated guess on EVERY question.
On Monday, you will take an in-class essay. It will NOT be over Zippy. Instead, you will read a short passage and write a response based on the prompt provided. You will have 40 minutes total to read and write.
Remember your Zippy reading ("ESP" through "Reading List") and rhetorical analysis is due Monday as well.
After the essay Monday, you will break into pairs and create your own AP Language MC style questions over the rhetoric found in Zippy. More details will be provided in class Monday.
We will begin Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle Monday, January 31. You MUST have the book by that date.
Enjoy the weekend...next week is the first five day week this semsester. Can you believe it took us until the fourth week of school to get here? I don't know about all of you, but I'm over the snow/ice days and ready for things to warm up!
