Block Day: AP Testing

* Open: Grammar
  1. Opening grammar
  • #1 " Great waves looked over others coming in,
     And thought of doing something to the shore
     That water never did to land before."
    * What kind of trope does this illustrate? 
    Please compose an example of your own. 
    (Answer for per. 7: personification) 
     
  • #2 "Please pass the pasty pickle pie, Penelope." 
    • What kind of scheme does this illustrate?  Please compose an example of your own. 
    • (Answer for per. 7: alliteration.  Note that repetition of consonant sounds elsewhere (not just at the beginning of the word) is called consonance.  Repetition of vowel sounds is assonance.)

* Essay Work, 45 min.
  • Your prompt is on your desk.  
  • Please take out blank paper and a pen. 
  • You get to keep your prompt (staple it to the back of your essay when you turn it in), so WRITE ON IT.  Circle things, underline, plan...this is how we roll. 
  • Single space, please. 
  • Time yourself: 45 min. 
* M.C. #35-55, 20 min.
  • You have a test booklet open to #35.  
  • Work from #35 to the end of the test (#55)

Turn your work in and you are done!
