In preparation for tomorrow's AP exam, we first reviewed my comments and suggestions to the essays JP drafted for the practice exam. I reviewed the range of rhetorical choices that can be referenced in the rhetorical analysis essay and based on my comments demonstrated examples of additional details JP could add to his draft. We then looked at another practice test question on the synthesis essay. After JP read the 6 sources , we analyzed how to respond to the prompt without merely repeating the claims advanced in one of the provided sources. I discussed placing the prompt question in a larger context and then using the cited sources as support. We then practiced this skill using the prompt and sources in the practice test.
