- Include more short quotes/specific scene(s) when defending each topic's idea.
- Pepper in more terms of literary analysis when writing any AP Literature essay (exposition, irony, internal conflict, dialogue, climax, femme fatale, motif). They don't have to be the terms that are in your thesis...they should be a natural part of any background, context, or treatment.
- Write a longer essay to get into the highest scoring bracket. Aim to write well into page three at least on every in-class essay (handwritten single-spaced or typed, double-spaced).
- I should see good evidence of sentence variety (without any fragments ). Employ a richer vocabulary; practice your mature diction.
- Study good examples; do not copy them. Also, look over the AP essay rubric.
