One of the three essays on the AP Lang exam is a RHETORICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY.
We will be studying the approach, construction, and evaluation process for this essay this week.
First, we will begin with close reading of the text.
Next, we planned out the essay. Planning involves writing an opening paragraph, sentence-by-sentence, then focusing on two rhetorical elements to discuss the author's use of in the essay, and ending with a focus on why the author wrote this, his main purpose.
Then, we drafted the essay in a timed writing (40 minutes) and used the plan and reading passage to guide writing choices.
Next, we will be analyzing the Q2 rhetorical analysis essay & taking notes for improvement as well as editing the essays.
Using the process outlined in this presentation, use these student sample examples to examine strong writing for these points. Then, take the time to adapt and edit your own essay.
