Today, we began class by competing and discussing exercises in 5 Steps to a 5 (pgs. 293-295, & 297). Then, the class reviewed the elements of SOAPStone and analyzed exemplar introductions from the AP Language Exam rhetorical analysis. The class spent the remainder of the period discussing class expectations, constraints, and norms that will help students be successful in AP Language this year.

Then, the class discussed the research paper requirements and began brainstorming potential topics. We ended class with another Ted Ed video, "How to Use Rhetoric to Get What You Want." Students will use this video to complete their Langston Blog assignment.

Today, students were given a sneak peek of the requirements for the AP exam. They engaged in an abbreviated AP Language/Composition Exam pre-test that was assigned on AP classroom. This pre-test allows students the opportunity to preview the requirements, expectations, and rigor of the AP exam. It also allows the teacher the opportunity to individualize instruction, based on data extrapolated from the pre-test.
