ABOUT THIS CLASS

In AP Lang, each essay leans on skills from the last, so a shaky foundation makes every new essay harder. That's why this class works on whatever your class is tackling right now, from rhetorical analysis to argument and synthesis, practicing AP-style multiple-choice questions and all three essay types with an instructor who shows exactly how AP readers score them. Every session leaves you clearer on what earns points in the kind of essay you're writing this month. Built for students who want steady progress and confidence in timed writing by May.

SYLLABUS

Shore Up Earlier Skills AP Lang skills build on each other, so a shaky foundation makes every essay harder. We circle back to skills from earlier in the year, like identifying an author's claim and evidence or analyzing a writer's rhetorical situation, so the work ahead has something solid to build on.

Tackle the Current Unit Whatever your class is working on right now, from rhetorical analysis to argument and synthesis essays, students get guided practice and clear strategies for the reading and writing they're doing in school this month.

Practice AP-Style Questions Work through real AP-style multiple-choice questions and all three essay types, and learn exactly how AP readers score them.

Preview What's Next Wouldn't we all love a sneak peek at our next challenge before the clock starts ticking and the points start counting? We preview upcoming skills, like writing a synthesis essay or analyzing style and syntax, so new assignments feel familiar instead of intimidating.
