Based on Alexie Sherman's short story, we focused on writing full sentence responses to AP analysis questions that are not in the multiple choice format . These more open ended questions are challenging as they require the student to incorporate AP Language concepts and terms into a sentence rather than just recognizing a correct answer. Consequently, I provided model sentences that incorporated AP terms such as diction, hyperbole, and irony and directed JP to rewrite his homework responses by incorporating specific examples of diction, identifying the use of diction as hyperbole/irony and then explaining how the writer's choice of diction advances the writer's purpose. We then began an analysis of our next passage, a speech delivered by the Prime Minister of New Zealand. JP discussed and identified the speaker's rhetorical situation and some of the rhetorical choices employed such as ethos, and phrase repetition.
