With the help of our student compatible study guide, our audience members will discover our strategies and the rules for writing a superb and well written essay.
The first step to win this fight is to know what to expect. The passage for this essay will be from fictional work. It is safe to assume that the passage will most likely come from a novel, biography or an anecdote. The critics or the reviewers of the AP exam have high expectations to award an student with a nine or an eight. Despite the fact, they will treat your essay as a first draft. It is crucial for all the students to comprehend the question prompt of the essay which usually asks the student to address two elements. The question prompt could ask the students to discuss about character growth, or the effects of the passage, perhaps how style and tone reveal the author's attitude or simply how literacy techniques have an impact in characterization. After the student gets more familiar with the different questions that could appear on the day of the AP exam, they should adjust themselves to the test setting. Students should deconstruct the question and use their findings to locate major clues in the passage.
For your first prose passage essay, you'll need to use at least two or more literacy elements. This is with the purpose of having a better chance of obtaining a better score. Some of the most effective and common literacy elements are diction, tone, personification, symbolism, and imagery. You will need to have at least five literacy elements (such as the ones mentioned above) in the back of your head on the day of the AP English exam. As the date of the AP exam approaches we recommend you to get more acquainted with at least five literacy techniques that you feel the most comfortable to discuss in the essay. Even if you don't need to make any references from previous novels or short stories in the prose passage essay, you may recall how certain literacy techniques are used in certain literacy work. That way it would be easier to identify those literacy techniques used by the author from the excerpt and talk about them in your prose passage essay.
All it's need is the proper plan of attack, the AP English Literature exam will be another battle won and a fear conquered. We strongly recommend that our fellow students read the passage slowly while taking margin notes. They should read the excerpt twice to ensure that important details are not left unacknowledged. When the time comes to write the essay, you'll need to address the question prompt in your first sentence. You'll need to mention the title and author. You'll also need to shed light on the subject of the question. In addition it's really important to inform the reader what literacy techniques you're using throughout the essay. After the introduction, you must dedicate each paragraph to a distinct literary element and at the same time working at a moderate pace, not too slow, but don't rush it either. Student will be relieved to know that a conclusion paragraph is not necessary for a high range essay. Your last sentence should connect the pieces of your essay together. Please keep in mind that a captivating essay does not revolve around a few rudimentary adjectives. Search for key words and utilize their synonyms in your explanations. Another piece of advice is to present information in chronological order. This will prevent confusion and delay. The renders must emphasize on evidence. Do not make assumptions because the answer has to be in the excerpt that the test makers provides you. Don't assume because you read the literary work previously that you'll then base your answer on what happens before or after the excerpt. The answer must be concealed into the excerpt.
Now that our secrets are revealed out there in the world, all the AP English students can write their prose passage essay, without feeling any fear or frustration.
