Engage your students with three original AP-style essay prompts that celebrate Black voices and deepen rhetorical understanding. This resource includes one synthesis prompt, one rhetorical analysis prompt (Audre Lorde), and one argument prompt (Zora Neale Hurston). These prompts can stand alone or pair perfectly with Their Eyes Were Watching God. They’re also a great fit for Black History Month, Women’s History Month, or any time of year when you want to center powerful, authentic voices. ✨
