MC practice

We started the class with a sample passage from the AP test. It was an older text so it was probably a little more difficult. You can expect at least one passage from the 18th century or earlier so don't be frightened off by the more complicated writing. It's usually just a little wordier and some higher vocabulary but just try to pick out the main ideas and use the questions to help guide you on the right track.
The second half was another work day with your partner on the speeches.
Don't forget to use your best friend when analyzing and make sure you do some background research on the context of the speech.
Upcoming: Vocab test tomorrow--STUDY
Finish the Fear section for Monday
