This site uses some different language than the language we used in class, but it’s certainly a helpful way to visualize the model.
Be ready for the Classical Persuasion test on Friday. It will cover
- logos, pathos, ethos, kairos
- SOAPS
- Tone
- and application of all of the above.
You can download notes for the test here.
The final for AP Language is a oral presentation with three components and a brief written element:
- A Beowulf-style boast about your achievements this year (oral)
- A favorite moment with another student in the class this year (oral)
- A passage from the reading that we read this year that moved or changed you in some way (oral)
- A brief letter reflecting on your writing portfolio (written, no more than 3 paragraphs)
The oral portion of the presentation only needs to be one-two minutes long.
- The comprehensive review packet (essay notes, kernels from class, anecdotes, topic sentences, rhetorical terms)
- All the test review files individually posted
- Rhetorical Devices
- Class notes from all year
- Practice and Prompts
- Two videos, one inspirational and one amazing

First, you can use this packet, with the same password we have used before.
Second, visit the AP site and look at actual prompts from the past 10 years or so.
Finally, how about some awesome multiple choice practice? (It’s passworded, too)
I will try to read any essays I can.
