Education Symposium Post-Writing Assignment: NOW DUE ON TUESDAY, MAY 29TH

IT'S TRUE. But PLEASE remember that this is you final piece for AP English 11 Honors.  This piece should be constructed carefully.  Diction, syntax, tone, line of reasoning, use of logos, ethos, pathos... everything will be assessed according to AP standards.


Now it’s time to take what you have learned through your research and apply it to rhetorical situations you may come across in college and/or real life.

First, read about the modes below and choose the one you believe will have the most impact:

An opinion editorial (Op-ed):  THERE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE IN THE WARRIOR on voting

A letter to an appointed or elected official

A proposal to NHS to advocate for a particular program

A grant to fund a particular program at NHS

A “marketing”plan, such as a school campaign

A section of a handbook or manual (there are others out there...)

A proposed scope of work for a Professional Development Plan (PDP) or a curriculum template (see me for the template)

A college essay  (if you chose this, please see the links below)

A script for a PSA (we can probably make the PSA happen…)

Then, locate and read at least 3 examples of the mode you chose.  A Google search should suffice. What seems most powerful in those pieces?  What would you like to replicate in your piece?

For the college essay:
From Tufts
Advice from Yale
From US News and World Report
From Wellesley
From Johns Hopkins


After that, develop a SOAPS chart; if you have chosen a persuasive piece—your purpose, audience, and strategies will be he heart of your writing.

Finally, craft a clear piece for peer review.  You will have one block to revise your piece to hand in.
