I realize that today's in class essay (Jennifer Price's "The Plastic Pink Flamingo) was extremely challenging, but no one (especially not your dear teacher) ever said the AP exam wouldn't be. Remember, writing takes practice! Also, you should never give up just because you don't think you understand. When in doubt, analyze the style of the writing and the strategies you do notice--even if you're unsure of what the purpose is.
Tomorrow we will read examples of actual AP responses to Price's essay and then complete peer evaluations of what you wrote. Do not be alarmed...your grade will come from my analysis, not of your classmates.
Later in class we began our study of editorial cartoons. Don't forget to analyze an editorial cartoon for this week's Friday Reading!
