Today, we will be looking at the free-responses we completed on Tuesday.
1. Begin by reading the evaluation criteria provided by the College Board and the (somewhat more specific) description provided by former AP readers and instructors. Highlight key terms that differentiate the categories from each other. What is the College Board looking for, and what terms do they use to describe levels of success.
2. Next, read the three sample responses I have provided. as you read, remember that these students only had 40 minutes to read the passage, decide on an approach to the text, and write the essay.
a. Provide a score for each passage, and explain why you assigned that score. Justify your decision by referring to specific wording in the evaluation criteria and text from the essay.
b. Highlight what you believe is the most effective passage of each essay. Then, in a comment, explain why you believe that text is effective.
