Does anyone have any tips for an 11th grader in AP Lang. I am having trouble critically reading essays and identifying central arguments. I have always taken honors English and have always done pretty well in them (A-). For some reason I just can’t quite get the hang of AP Lang. Thanks in advance!
@novabrown I took APEL last year and got a 5. Are you up to rhetoric or argument at this point?
Don’t worry about it yet since it’s only October 1st. You’re still learning. The best thing you can do is to read plenty of essays and try to understand their arguments and how they make their arguments. Can you ask your teacher for advice? He or she might have some tips for students who are struggling.
sorry for the extremely late response! we are still at rhetorical analysis at this point.
