AP Language-Ms. Sarno-Period 1 Assignments

Thank you for a great year, despite the weirdness and craziness. It was my pleasure to teach you! Please complete this survey–just like you guys, every year is an opportunity for me to learn and grow as an educator.💜

Please select the time that you will be presenting on Monday or Tuesday. FYI, the times will disappear as they fill up, so complete this ASAP.

Task:
1. Watch my Edpuzzle.
2. Create a slide deck if you need and attach it here. I attached two student samples if you need. 
3. If you are presenting live, practice your talk.

BE PREPARED TO PRESENT MONDAY OORRRR TUESDAY!

Hello, and welcome to our launch of your final project.

TASK:
Complete your Google Slide brainstorm.

TASK:
Complete the graphic organizer in the Google Slide attached.

Please watch and complete the Edpuzzle lesson for outlining FIRST. Then you may work on this.

For Credit Submit/Attach: 
1. Evidence of a MC Practice
2. Evidence of Synthesis Practice (Question #1 on the exam) 
3. Evidence of Rhetorical Analysis Practice (Question #2 on the exam) 
4. Evidence of Argument Practice (Question #3 on the exam) 


I have attached a link to CollegeBoard with the prior exam questions. For the essay practices, you can open an old essay question of your choice, break it down, and do a quick outline.

I have also attached the exam from the other day. These would probably be good questions to practice.


If you do the practice multiple choice and would like the answers, please shoot me a message and I will send them over. 

We are all sharing one document. Go through your notes, slides, and written assignments to jot down things we learned and discussed in each unit. This will help you, especially when it comes to ideas for evidence while writing the synthesis and argument prompts. 

Now, begin drafting! See the resources attached to help you. Keep in mind that they do look for style in this essay, so any of the strategies you have witnessed in the texts we have read this year are fair game for you to apply to your own writing. This is your opportunity to allow your argumentative personality to shine through. 


Due Dates:
