HW DUE WED. 2/17:

**USING THE PACKET GIVEN TO YOU THURS. 2/11 IN CLASS (*and linked as PDF on the CLASSROOM), MAKE SURE YOU'VE COMPLETED THE FOLLOWING:

Using the "Student Guide to Sample Examination II" AP Lang. practice essay (goes in AP PRACTICE EXAMS section of your binder):

1) CAREFULLY READ the AP LANG Q1 RHETORICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY "QUESTION ONE" PROMPT/EXCERPT (*from Sontag's "Regarding the Pain of Others") 

• ANNOTATE THE PROMPT for the text for the MAIN CLAIM/ARGUMENT Sontag makes
• ANNOTATE pieces of EVIDENCE Sontag uses to support her CLAIM regarding the role of war art/artists
• FIND and ANNOTATE 2-3 RHETORICAL/LANGUAGE ELEMENTS (___imagery, POV, allusion, ___diction, etc.) Sontag uses in her excerpt to support her CLAIM

2) THEN, USING THE SONTAG PROMPT, SAMPLE STUDENT ESSAY RESPONSE, and response "Scoring Rubric," first COMPLETELY READ THE STUDENT RESPONSE ESSAY and reference the scoring rubric to decide the response's merits/shortcomings

• **ASK YOURSELF: Is this response an UPPER-HALF score (6-9) OR a LOWER-HALF score (1-4)?

3) FINALLY, using your already-completed prompt annotations as well as the STUDENT RESPONSE,  complete ALL of the "You Rate It!"sheet on the back of the packet, THOROUGHLY ANSWERING ALL FOUR (4) QUESTIONS REGARDING THE STUDENT RESPONSE ESSAY

• **be ready Wednesday to share your annotations/feedback and "RATE IT" responses for DISCUSSION IN CLASS and for a grade!

• we'll also thoroughly read this prompt/student response together and make sure you understand everything Sontag asserts/claims, and I'll answer any qu's you may have!

****************

**AND PLEASE TAKE NOTE: not completing this assignment (i.e., coming to class WED. 2/17 with a blank, 'non-annotated,' or sloppy attempt at this assignment) will result in a ZERO GRADE for this!
