Back from break! Well, you are. I’m still playing with grandchildren, so ha.

You have a substitute! Who has a lovely assignment I spent hours creating for you!

Great Expectations AP Essay Exam (Prompt #3)

In class, you will create a prewriting exercise for this prompt, then write an essay based on a past AP Exam question. Now don’t panic–I know you’re still learning how to address these, so the assignment I’ve prepared walks you step by step how to complete the essay. You will be given this Prewriting Assignment to work on during class; once completed, you should have all the information you need to write the exam.

I want this HANDWRITTEN on LINED PAPER so that you can begin practicing for the exam. If you have horrific handwriting (don’t make me name names here) SLOW DOWN as you write to make sure it’s legible. If I can’t read it, you won’t get a score, and the AP Exam Grading Gods have no greater powers of divination than I do, so please– WRITE LEGIBLY!

The essay will be due at the end of class, but if you really, really need more time to take it home, you may. Realize, however, that at the exam you’ll have ONLY 40 minutes from start to finish, and in class you’ll have nearly double that time. Just complete it in class.
