Lesson Topic
AP Multiple Choice Practice
Lesson Outline
Emma and I read through another AP English multiple choice practice exam. Emma is still a bit trepidatious about interpreting these types of passages on her own, so I agreed to continue simulating the "efficient" way to read and keep track of the authors' argument. Once she had a thorough understanding of the passage, she was able to answer 95% of the questions correctly. When she returns from her college visit, she will complete one of these passages on her own.
