VOCABULARY LEARNING
In the AP courses, we study vocabulary involved with rhetorical and poetic writing. The master lists are linked here below (links also found on the AP page at the Alcove classroom website). The first week back in class, you will be quizzed on words 1-85 from the rhetoric terms list. You can see that various groupings of the terms are on Quizlet for practicing and out-of-class testing. (Those of you who have had this list last year, be prepared for some non-multiple-choice situations.)
