For our final session before the AP exam , we reviewed Joshua's literary argument essay taken from a practice exam. I stressed the need to choose a literary work with which Joshua was very familiar as well as the need to offer an interpretation in the introductory paragraph . I further demonstrated how to tie the paragraphs together by incorporating thematic ideas raised in the introduction. We further worked on stating an interpretation without incorporating. trite maxims . Last, we studied how to earn the sophistication point by referencing similar literary works that reflect on the theme of the essay.
