Midyear Exam Practice & Sample

Monday, December 15

Today we'll use a sample from the 2004 AP exam to practice making a response to a poetry question.

  1. Read question 1 on page 2 of this .pdf: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap04_frq_english_lit_36149.pdf
  2. The second poem by Dickenson is available here: http://www.fairfieldreview.org/fairfield/FairRevw.nsf/6effbe94977558978525643f00510f1d/c4f41fcbfe1e440185256560007b51a0?OpenDocument
  3. Outline your response alone or with a partner.
  4. Read these authentic samples written by students. Consider their strengths as well as their opportunities for growth: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap04_english_lit_oper_38645.pdf
