In our Spring 2011 AP English Language class, we’ll explore creative writing techniques using alliteration, synecdoche, and hyperbole to vividly describe our spring break experiences. Students will also engage in research and revision activities, focusing on their synthesis essay practices and vocabulary building with diverse terms. Each week includes multiple-choice practice, in-class essays, revision sessions, and vocabulary quizzes to prepare for the AP exam on May 11. The overarching theme will be personal goals and visions for the future of our global community.
