AP Lang can be tough with the amount of concepts you need to learn! I remember being super overwhelmed at the beginning of the year, and I would have loved to have had extra support. I got a 5 on my AP exam, but I couldn't have done it without tutoring, so I wanted to help others who are worried about taking the course or just want to increase their knowledge. I will be using the College Board curriculum as well as resources my teacher used and extra things I did myself when studying! This course will go throughout the school year. Here is what we will be learning: 1. Rhetorical Situation: Reading  Explain how writers’ choices reflect the components of the rhetorical situation.   2. Rhetorical Situation: Writing  Make strategic choices in a text to address a rhetorical situation.   3. Claims and Evidence: Reading  Identify and describe the claims and evidence of an argument.  4. Claims and Evidence: Writing  Analyze and select evidence to develop and refine a claim. 5. Reasoning and Organization: Reading  Describe the reasoning, organization, and development of an argument. 6. Reasoning and Organization: Writing  Use organization and commentary to illuminate the line of reasoning in an argument.  7. Style: Reading  Explain how writers’ stylistic choices contribute to the purpose of an argument.  8. Style: Writing  Select words and use elements of composition to advance an argument.  I will also go over anything complicated that I struggled with or that you guys need assistance with! I'll also do reviews when test day gets close :) I'm excited to get to know you and help you ace your AP Lang test!
