Crash Course on Style Analysis Essays

5th session

We will practice writing some of the FRQs with writing prompts from the AP Lang exam. We will be focusing on the style analysis aspect of the exam. We will go over some of the MCQs on the AP Lang exam and some strategies in approaching them. They will be helpful if you are taking the exam or just in general for reading comprehension. In order to give more personalized feedback, the number of max learners has been limited to 5.

📝Writing Contest!!

2nd session

This is going to be a super fun creative writing contest! We now have all of our rules and prompt finalized! Keep reading for all of the details. Rules: No ChatGPT or other ai text generators. No Grammarly AI. No offensive language. Keep writing relevant to the prompt. Have fun, no stress! :) Judging Criteria: Must be Relevant The story should stay within the parameters of the prompt. You can stray slightly since these are vague prompts, but if you don’t have any aspect of the prompt in your story, you will be disqualified. Must be grammatically correct The spelling and grammar of your story should be at least 90% accurate. I understand that English grammar rules are weird, so we won’t be too strict on things like the oxford comma or anything like that. If more than half of your story has misspellings and obvious grammatical errors, you will be disqualified. Must be original Your story should be something that you can come up with on your own and are proud of! If we have a strong indication that this isn't your original work (e.g. using AI, copying out of a book) you will be disqualified. Must be engaging You will have three months to write your story, use it all! Your story should make us want to keep reading, perhaps even want a longer story! You have the time to add as much imagery and dialogue as you want! You won't be disqualified for a “boring” story, but your chances of winning will definitely go down. Must be consistent Your story should keep the same tone, POV,(first person, second, third limited, and third omniscient) and tense.(past, present, future) This falls in its own category because you can have two grammatically correct sentences, but have them in two different tenses. If you can’t keep 95% consistency, your chances of winning will go down significantly. Page Limit: There is a Maximum of 10 pages allowed. It’s alright if you have like 10.2 pages, we just don’t have the time to read a novella in time for the winners to be announced. You can also make it as short as you want too. And finally, the prompt: The main protagonist is teleported into a different time. (past) Describe the different types of people and things they encounter. We're all super excited to see what amazing stories you come up with! Happy Writing! 😁
