As Matthew is continuing to work on two synthesis essays, we first reviewed my comments and suggestions on his draft of the N.Rockwell/ Sedaris synthesis analysis. I explained how to incorporate and cite source material as well as how to create an original thesis that does not merely restate a thesis of one of the source writers. Matthew then completed an AP MCQ exercise that focused on identifying a writer's tone and purpose in employing certain diction , Last, we began analyzing how to identify bias in source material.
