We've worked through the better part of 3 sets of sentence errors that mimic the format you saw on the PSAT and will see on the SAT. Now it's time to apply your new found understanding of the rules we've reviewed by drafting your response to the Caesar Take Home Exam.
As you work on your responses, consult the rubric and be sure to strive for the cleanest possible mechanical and grammatical piece you can write. That is ONE of the elements of a successful response in this sort of a prompt. Remember, the prompts, format, and rubric you see on this assignment are VERY similar to what you'll see in AP Lit. (possibly AP Lang.) in the coming years.
TODAY'S TASK: Create a new blog entry on your blog and start drafting a response to 1 of the 3 questions on the exam.
For those of you choosing question #3, make sure that you focus your response based on one of the three prompt suggestions: a defense, challenge, or qualification of the prompt. To be clear, a defense is where you support the proposition/premise of the prompt (the ends justify the means); a challenge is where you argue against it; a qualification is where you say something like, "Yes/No, but only if ..."
Your due date for the final on this will be roughly 2 weeks from now, right around the time we complete and show the videos.
