AP Lang-Today we had a bit of impromptu Argument Review, students need to be SPECIFIC and CONCRETE in their details as they are planning their Essays to be able to address the EXIGENCE of the topic at hand. They need to have references to:
- The Pro & Con of the Argument
- The Past & the Present of the Issues
- The National & International Scope of the Statement
To help with planning these essays and to give them SCOPE, each student has been select to do basic research on 10 Names/Places of Significance. They should complete this SHARED Google Sheet for in class discussion in class on 4/27: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OW57ZncYNWlNvojHw5-C_hoh0LmJXqK1U1SEAILISF0/edit?usp=sharing
