AP Language: Spring Break and Beyond!

3/29/2018

Students are making great progress towards their preparation for the AP test in May.  We have done a lot of in class writing, practicing, and revising! There is no specific homework over break for AP Language, but this would be a great time for you to check in with your student about how much he or she is engaging with all of the available practice opportunities for the course.  There are many options for students to prepare; they just need to take advantage of them! Some possibilities for over break:

  • READ! This continues to be the most important factor in improving multiple choice scores and vocabulary abilities in timed writing. Students who read extensively are more comfortable with their writing voice. They are also much more adept at reading passages in a timed setting.
  • Watch the news and discuss it.  The more you can talk about what is happening in the world with your students, the better. They benefit from hearing your perspective on world events and it helps them when they need to form their own arguments.
  • Work on multiple choice practice. I have posted many guided multiple choice practice passage on Google Classroom.
  • Work on the practice exam posted on Google Classroom. Students who take advantage of this practice exam are welcome to bring their sample essays to me before school or during AA for evaluation conferences.


Let me know if you have any questions and have a wonderful break!
