Hello AP Lang students!
Hello AP students! HERE is a letter from me to you.
I posted this message on google classroom and will continue to communicate with you using both these platforms.
Our final unit on the argument essay (Q3) will be one we will work on virtually, so we can feel prepared regardless of which essay type is chosen. Please use THIS DOC to learn more about this essay in terms of the approach and skills development
All "assignments" described here are optional; it is a good idea to practice this essay type and have a game plan for how you will approach this writing, but no grades will be given for the preparatory work you do here. You are not required to submit any work to me, but I will certainly read it and give you helpful feedback if you do.
The College Board has announced that, due to these unexpected circumstances, the AP test will be shortened down to one 45-minute essay that you will write at home. They will be announcing the essay type on April 3rd, and also the test dates that will be available to you. Here are two articles from the College Board that might help clarify these details:

Once the College Board announces which essay type you will be writing, we will switch to reviewing writing approaches and practices for only that type of essay.
For now, the argument essay will be our focus.
Thinking of you all often and hoping your break from school is going well.
