The Discussion Project - Structured Academic Controversy
Preparing students for the AP Language and Composition exam requires a multi-faceted approach that includes both content review and skill-building. Here are some effective strategies:
1. **Familiarize with the Exam Format**: Ensure students are familiar with the format of the exam, including the types of questions (multiple-choice, free-response), timing, and scoring rubrics.
2. **Practice with Past Exams**: Use past AP Language and Composition exams for practice. This helps students get accustomed to the types of questions asked and the time constraints they'll face.
3. **Develop Analytical Reading Skills**: Focus on close reading and analysis of various texts, including non-fiction essays, articles, speeches, and literary excerpts. Encourage students to identify rhetorical devices, author's purpose, tone, and argumentative strategies.
4. **Writing Practice**: Regularly assign essays and writing tasks that mirror the format of the free-response section of the exam. Emphasize thesis development, organization, argumentation, and use of evidence.
5. **Feedback and Revision**: Provide constructive feedback on students' writing and encourage them to revise their work. Emphasize the importance of clarity, coherence, and effective use of language.
6. **Vocabulary Enhancement**: Help students build their vocabulary, especially focusing on words commonly used in rhetorical analysis and argumentation. Encourage them to use sophisticated vocabulary in their writing to convey their ideas effectively.
7. **Study Rhetorical Devices**: Teach students about various rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, logos, parallelism, irony, etc. Provide examples from texts and have students analyze how these devices contribute to the effectiveness of the communication.
8. **Synthesis Practice**: Practice synthesis essays where students are required to combine multiple sources to develop a cohesive argument. Provide guidance on how to effectively integrate sources and cite evidence.
9. **Timed Practice**: Conduct timed practice sessions to simulate the exam conditions. This helps students improve their time management skills and build confidence in their ability to complete the exam within the allotted time.
10. **Review Grammar and Mechanics**: Review grammar rules and conventions to ensure students are proficient in writing mechanics. This includes punctuation, sentence structure, agreement, and clarity.
11. **Encourage Critical Thinking**: Foster critical thinking skills by engaging students in discussions and debates on various topics. Encourage them to evaluate arguments, identify logical fallacies, and develop their own informed opinions.
12. **Utilize Resources**: Recommend review books, online resources, and study guides that can help students reinforce their learning and provide additional practice opportunities.
13. **Mock Exams**: Administer full-length mock exams to gauge students' readiness and identify areas for improvement. Use the results to tailor your instruction and provide targeted support.
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively prepare AP Language and Composition students for success on the exam. Remember to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages students to actively participate and take ownership of their learning.

Standards in this strand:
The CCR anchor standards and high school grade-specific standards work in tandem to define college and career readiness expectations—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity.
Key Ideas and Details:
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text.
Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text.
Craft and Structure:
Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze how an author uses and refines the meaning of a key term or terms over the course of a text (e.g., how Madison defines faction in Federalist No. 10).
Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his or her exposition or argument, including whether the structure makes points clear, convincing, and engaging.
Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how style and content contribute to the power, persuasiveness or beauty of the text.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas:
Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.
Delineate and evaluate the reasoning in seminal U.S. texts, including the application of constitutional principles and use of legal reasoning (e.g., in U.S. Supreme Court majority opinions and dissents) and the premises, purposes, and arguments in works of public advocacy (e.g., The Federalist, presidential addresses).
Analyze seventeenth-, eighteenth-, and nineteenth-century foundational U.S. documents of historical and literary significance (including The Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address) for their themes, purposes, and rhetorical features.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity:
By the end of grade 11, read and comprehend literary nonfiction in the grades 11-CCR text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
By the end of grade 12, read and comprehend literary nonfiction at the high end of the grades 11-CCR text complexity band independently and proficiently.

English Language Arts Standards » Speaking & Listening » Grade 11-12
The CCR anchor standards and high school grade-specific standards work in tandem to define college and career readiness expectations—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity.
Comprehension and Collaboration:
Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11-12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.11-12.1.A
Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned exchange of ideas.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.11-12.1.B
Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decision-making, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.11-12.1.C
Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.11-12.1.D
Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives; synthesize comments, claims, and evidence made on all sides of an issue; resolve contradictions when possible; and determine what additional information or research is required to deepen the investigation or complete the task.
Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.
Evaluate a speaker's point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis, and tone used.
Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas:
Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks.
Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.
Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating a command of formal English when indicated or appropriate. (See grades 11-12 Language standards 1 and 3 here for specific expectations.)
