Synthesis Essay 2007 Question/Sources
Synthesis Essay 2007 Sample Student Essays w/scorer’s commentary
 Carefully, read the synthesis question and accompanying sources, exam the annotations (perhaps, a bit too much-but...), and the students' written responses, noting what the students did well, prior to reading the AP Reader's Commentary.
For Tuesday, 21 January: You will submit your introductory paragraph for the assigned synthesis essay topic (American Dream/Equality). Please bring to class TWO copies of your introduction. Feel free to exam other synthesis essays on the AP Language and Composition homepage. Naturally, on Tuesday, I will be asking for your observations and reactions.
