On April 3, AP College Board will be releasing tools and practice lessons and videos that you must access through your own personal AP account. They will be in AP Classroom. At that time, we will be told which essay type you will write, and the instruction will target that. Please have your rubric handy and take notes either on a document in our folder or in your comp book. We are in this together! 

 

Also, I have put an entry on turnitin.com called Check-in Journal #1. I will place writing prompts in a variety of genre in these. The first has a turn-in date of April 5th.

 

 

Rhetorical Situation: Speaker - you, Audience - you during September 2019,  Subject -  learning in quarantine, Exigence - desire to prepare yourself then growing out of frustration now, Purpose - warning and advice covering a variety of areas (school, friends, family, health, etc.) with a goal of helping the September you cope Context - the current situation. Although personal writing, not academic, you should employ sophisticated sentence structure, elevated language where appropriate, a variety of tones, and a mixture of modes. The secondary reader (me) should detect reflection and deep thought/concern that you have about yourself and others. (500 words)

 

For an example (of a personal letter using formal, but not academic, writing), please see this link, which was the basis for an AP RA: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/04-03-02-0207
