During the week, we will work on each of the main areas of the Language exam-- multiple choice questions and the synthesis, rhetorical analysis and argument essays—and discuss different ways to prepare our students with the skills they will need on the AP test. We will also discuss the use of literature within the context of the AP Language course. We will review the scoring process for the test and this year’s Language exam essay questions. We will practice the activities that the test requires of our students, and we will share strategies as teachers.
