Essay 4: Civil Disobedience is due on Sunday, October 27 at 4:00 p.m.
Your second essay for AP Language is due Sunday, September 22 at noon. You can download the prompt (and all the rest this year) here. While the structure of this essay will be much like the first essay about high school sports, it will require the use of evidence, so make sure that you download and annotate the prompt as you are reading.
Notes about writing synthesis style essays are available here in the Writing Guide.
We’ll talk more about how to effectively use these, but if you are working in Google Docs, I highly encourage you to make use of one of these tools before you submit your essays.

For AP Seminar, we have a slightly new end plan for the year. For each reading assignment, you will be expected to annotate (like a member of a high school AP class) and meaningfully discuss the article for class. If you miss a day of class or do not complete the annotation/discussion, the only way to make up the work will be to complete an EOC A-exam response for the article.
EOC Exam Parts
- Identify the author’s argument, main idea, or thesis. (one sentence)
- Explain the author’s line of reasoning by identifying the claims used to build the argument and the connections between them. (one-two paragraphs)
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the evidence the author uses to support the claims made in the argument. (one-two paragraphs, but if section 2 is one paragraph, this should be two)
