Analyses, Vocab

AP Language

April 24th, 2010

Quick reminder: no article analyses this weekend. Look over the vocabulary from the multiple choice; we’ll have a quiz on Monday.

Update: In case you’re interested, the quiz will be in two parts, covering the passages and questions 21-43. For the first part, you will be presented with a device pulled from the questions and asked to provide a definition or an example, then explain how it could be used in an argument. The second part will be simple vocabulary: you will be asked to define the word and use it in a sentence.
