Objective: I can review how to write a high-scoring essay for the AP test by comparing the ideas presented to those I read about in A Thousand Splendid Suns or The Kite Runner (W11-12.4)
Agenda:

Entry Task: Review your score on the test yesterday. How did you do on the mini-essay portion?
Re-read the prompt and then read the example essay that is assigned to you:
- If you read The Kite Runner please read the high-scoring essay from 2010 about Things Fall Apart
- If you read A Thousand Splendid Suns please read the high-scoring essay from 2010 Form B about Atonement
As you read, make note of how the ideas presented in the essay could be manipulated to fit the book you read
After you read, go to the last page of the essay and read the score the essay and received and why.
- Make note of key words the scorer used to describe the essay
- Now, take a look at your test again
- If you were to develop this essay fully, do you think similar wording could be used to describe your essay?
Exit Task: At this point in the year, you should have a pretty good idea of how you do with your writing. Go back to your passage essay you wrote last week. What do you still need to work on?
