Our first real AP essay is almost upon us. Before you hit the reality of the 40 minute maximum essay, on an excerpt that you have not seen before, I want to make sure that you explore info of what you are up against. After (or while) reading the packet over prose essay testing, please do the following:
- Create a blog response that identifies a minimum of 6 takeaways or questions from your reading. This means:
- How should you organize your time?
- What should you look for?
- How should you organize an essay?
- Anything else that you deem important
- Questions you have
- This post does not need to be pretty; in fact, bullets are fine. While some of this first practice is just about the experience, I will expand upon what you identify and clear up any questions you may have. Expect to see a response from me on the blog - not during class time. Check back in to see my answers for all concerns before test morning:)
- Note from HC: You should ALWAYS find a quote to use in probably the 2nd sentence of the intro - one that ties directly to the theme of the essay. For example -
- Sen 1 - set time period or general theme
- Sen 2 - find a way to work the quote in
- Sen 3 - thesis
- Reminder for essay day:
- 40 minutes - start to finish
- 20 total points
- 11 for breathing:) - as long as your breathing is deep and focused
- AP score out of 9 for the actual content, organization, and sophistication of the essay
