AP Language and Composition Examination Prompts
(You probably have a copy of this in your three-ring binder, but I recommend that you download it just in case...you will never know when you will be directed to place your three-ring binder in a container in the classroom...this could happen soon...you will NOT be given prior notice!)


BE ADVISED THAT YOU WILL ONLY BE ALLOCATED TWENTY MINUTES TO COMPLETE YOUR LOGICAL FALLACY TEST ON THURSDAY (30 statements for your identification...)


A reminder (see previous post): Bring highlighters/colored pencils to class on Monday, 24 February-your OWN "supply", not what your "table-mate" brings to class.  I consider this a homework assignment and I will grade it as such.


The Doctrine of Academic Freedom
When Diedrich first heard(on FOX News, Sunday morning) about this publication from a senior attending Harvard, he responded with a, "WOW!" and an "Oh, My Gosh!" since he could not believe what the writer was advocating. As a class, we will visit Korn's response and approach it as if it was the Argument Question on the AP Exam. (Defend, Challenge, Qualify). Diedrich has so many questions that he would like to ask this writer and he also has so many concerns...What do you think?
Perhaps, you will also share my reaction...
