Tuesday and Synthesis #2: Embedding quotations in your own argument

REMINDER:  SIGN UP for one of the practice AP tests on


SATURDAY, April 5th from 8:00-12:00 (most likely in the Vintage Library)

or

TUESDAY, April 8th from 3:15-6:30(in E-1)

Tuesday's TARGET: The skill I want us to hit hard this time is USING pieces of text from the synthesis assignment within your argument to further your point of view. Check out this link: http://www.massasoit.mass.edu/academic_resource_center/wwlcenter/pdf/IntegratingQuotes.pdf


Today we will start with a 15 minute multiple choice practice, using the Frederick Douglas piece from the packet.

Then, after a 10 minutes review of those answers, you will have 15 minutes to review and annotate the Synthesis packet on Locovorism. (from 2011 test)

Remember to annotate, highlighting compelling evidence that you might utilize tomorrow in your argument. Today try to building a chart that arranges the sources on the "pro" or "con" side of the argument.  Which ones align?  Which ones contradict?  Where do you see the most compelling evidence/arguments?
