AP Language with American Literature - Week of February 10-February 14, 2020 

Weekly Learning Goals  Focus Standards 

Analyze and evaluate sources for research project. Use new
vocabulary in writing. Annotate for understanding. Analyze
rhetorical appeals. Determine author’s purpose.
ELAGSE11-12RI6: ​Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how
style and content contribute to the power, persuasiveness, or beauty of the text. ​CollegeBoard: ​C1—The course teaches and requires
students to write in several forms (e.g., narrative, expository, analytical, and argumentative essays) about a variety of subjects (e.g., public
policies, popular culture, personal experiences). C4—The course requires expository, analytical, and argumentative writing assignments
that are based on readings representing a wide variety of prose styles and genres. C7—The course teaches research skills, and in
particular, the ability to evaluate, use, and cite primary and secondary sources. The course assigns projects such as the researched
argument paper, which goes beyond the parameters of a traditional research paper by asking students to present an argument of their
own that includes the analysis and synthesis of ideas from an array of sources. LO1—analyze and interpret samples of good writing,
identifying and explaining an author’s use of rhetorical strategies and techniques; LO2—apply effective strategies and techniques in their
own writing; LO3—create and sustain arguments based on readings, research, and/or personal experience; LO4— write for a variety of
purposes
