AP Language

Those of you who are having a hard time with the AP prompts - think about the following things.

Question 1 - synthesis essay is an argument essay.  You need to take a position and back up that position with at least three articles that are given to you.  Beyond this you should - connect to other other sources and the world.  Make sure you analysis the sources in relation to your thesis.  Don't just summarizes them.

Question 2 - Analytical Essay.  You are analyzing a passage here.  Think precis.  Make sure you find the authors thesis and purpose.  Then show how the author creates this in the passage.  Review precis if needed.

Question 3 - Argument essay.  Make sure you create an argument here and back it up with specific examples.

You don't necessarily need a hook, but you do need a thesis.
