AP Language
Today was the end of our Benchmark Examination. We completed another simulated exam activity - the multiple choice. In this part of the examination you'll have five passages with questions. Some questions assess your reading skills and others assess your writing skills. Once you submit, you'll get your raw score - you want to be tracking at around 50% or better. Next week when we do feedback, you'll see your grade broken out by the different skills - this is the more important information.
If you've missed part of your Benchmark Exam, please schedule a time to sit for your assessment. I'm here after school on Wednesday and Thursday; we also have Lion Time transitions this week.
One of the best things to do right now is to review the idea of PEWCAM and the rhetorical situation in preparation for your first project. You'll need to select a text that is rich enough to undergo analysis, consider speeches and significant photographs as a place to start. We'll start into our first real unit of the year next class looking at some important American writers and their ideas about what America is to them. Enjoy the evening!
