2021-2022 Goal:

100% of students will achieve an upper-half score (6-9) on the rhetorical analysis FRQ. See AP Central's rhetorical analysis rubric for details. This goal aligns with both the reading and writing standards for 11th grade informational text reading/writing standards.

Prioritized Standards:

AP Lang and Comp description from College Board (standards start on Pg. 20)

Claims and Evidence: Writers make claims about subjects, rely on evidence that supports the reasoning that justifies the claim, and often acknowledge or respond to other, possibly opposing, arguments.

Reasoning and Organization: Writers guide understanding of a text’s lines of reasoning and claims through that text’s organization and integration of evidence.

Style: The rhetorical situation informs the strategic stylistic choices that writers make.

Norms:

Show up on time and prepared; be positive, constructive, and productive; abide by deadlines; share struggles; make decisions by consensus
