CAVEAT: these videos are great, but don't stress if they suggest something slightly different from what we have discussed. That just reveals the multiple ways of writing an effective argument. My recurring and most essential advice to you is:
BELIEVE WHAT YOU WRITE.
HAVE A CLEAR & REALISTIC FOCUS (don't overreach).
CONVINCE YOUR SKEPTICAL, BUT INTELLIGENT FRIEND (i.e., the reader)
THOUGH THE VIDEOS BELOW ARE USEFUL: for the 2021 exam, I would recommend using the College Board review session and AP Daily videos first and foremost.
