Great day in AP Language as we explored a metaphor and understood the connection between a research paper and a dinner party. I would like to emphasize that today we were really beginning with the planning of our response. You're starting to chart out your paragraphs, your assertions, and the essential voices you'll bring to this conversation. Remember, you're curating a conversation. Show links and connections that reinforce your argument.
As I've begun to read entries for ABs, the main thing that I'm seeing missing is the ROR point on the source. How is the evidence organized in the source? How does this reinforce the claim? Consider the work we did with Staples focused on his organization of his evidence in the body of his article as you do this part of your summaries.
Next class we'll be looking at some sample prompts and doing some planning. You'll also have a good amount of time to work. You should be finishing your AB/SourcePack within the next few classes.
AP Research
Today was a day focused on the Academic Paper - this is the majority of our score, and we have a rubric to guide ourselves, so today was a great day. We looked at three papers, broke down the rubric, and really strove to understand the goals of the rubric and what the assessors are looking for. All of this was geared toward our next major assignment, the final draft of the Introduction/LitReview and draft of your Method.
Next week, March 10, we'll engage in peer review related to our paper sections. We'll use the rubric and several revision guides to help work through our process. Have content. Have words. Don't worry about having it be perfect, we'll get it there together. Next class is more of a working day for you. We'll also finish required conferences and PREP checks. Next week you'll have most days for working and meeting your goals. Keep striving and pushing forward! Slay your beast!
