Description

Do your students need a bit more practice for Question 3 of the AP™ Language & Composition exam? This resource works well for review and is comprised of ten prompts for argumentative writing. In this set, the prompts are written in the same format as Question 3 of the AP™ English Language & Composition Exam. Each page includes a suggested time, instructions, and a short passage. Included as well is lined paper identical to that found in the booklet in which students will write on exam day.

All materials are provided in Google Slides as well!

◈Social media restriction of user speech

◈An analogy of arguments to fire-arms

Suggestions for Use

◈Use a prompt as part of an assessment of skills at the end of a unit. For more information on teaching argumentation and persuasion, see Argumentative & Persuasive Writing or the bundle of these two resources.

◈While reviewing for the AP™ English Language & Composition exam, use one prompt a day as a bell ringer at the beginning of class.

◈Post all ten prompts and do a gallery walk to write thesis statements.

◈Put students in small groups with each group addressing a different prompt. Each group plans and writes an essay together and then shares it with the class in some form.

◈Do a “cold write” by randomly choosing one of the prompts, projecting it, and allowing students to hear the teacher think aloud while addressing the prompt.

◈Bring closure to a lesson by having students read one prompt and write a thesis as a ticket out the door.

What Teachers Are Saying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I know I can't go wrong with any of Angie's products. She makes my life easier--why recreate the wheel when someone else has already made the wheel (and made it better than I ever could have)? Another awesome resource--plenty of prompts for my students. Speed dating, gallery walks, lots of great activities can be done with this resource.
