***THEN, Y'ALL BE PREPARED FOR THE FOLLOWING in class FRI. 11/14:
  • we'll go over Boswell's essay/discuss your qu's answers for VALUABLE DISCUSSION POINTS

  • And then, FRIDAY AFTER DISCUSSION Y'ALL WILL HAVE APLANG EXAM-STYLE PRACTICE MULTIPLE CHOICE QU's to answer
    • IMPORTANT!! This will be your first 'crack' at AP LANG EXAM-STYLE MChoice QU's, so it's a low-pressure situation...AS LONG AS YOU COMPLETE THEM AND DO YOUR BEST! The best way to get better at these is through effort and practice, which we're starting now
    • we will check these practice MChoice qu's together to see how many you get correct, so BE HONEST; your score for this first one is just so we can get our 'sea legs' with MChoice practice, just do your best
