AP Exam Studying....

I actually did not do what I said that I was going to do. I glanced around at the essay prompts and noticed that they frequently ask for tone. I then realized that I always use the same words to describe the tone of a passage. I went online and looked for some new words that I could use to replace my mundane ones (serious, sad, etc). This is what I came up with:

• http://www.mshogue.com/AP/tone.htm
• http://www.rjfisher.lgusd.k12.ca.us/staff/mhartung/documents/tone_words.pdf

Looking at these two different list really helped me and I think will strengthen my essay writing. 

I also realized that I never fully understood what syntax was. I was able to find this great source.

I also reviewed essay writing. I read the "Analyzing Prompt" document that Dr Preston posted up.

This also helped a lot. There was sample essays that helped me to set standards for myself on the test. 

I also reviewed the AP terms and tried to apply each of them to a novel I had read. 

This weekend I mostly focused on the essay writing. This coming week I plan on focusing on the multiple choice.
