Use Student Samples of AP Rhetoric Analysis Essays
Use Student Samples of AP Rhetoric Analysis EssaysIn one of our recent conversations, you mentioned in passing that you were still using student samples of AP Language Course essay and rhetoric analysis, which had been on your desk for a couple of years. While many students prefer to use their own work to study and practice writing, some people feel that just using samples is not enough to reach a high level of understanding of the AP Course material, and are turned off by the 'writer's perspective.'However, I am glad that you are still using your tools for AP Language Course when you write your AP Rhetoric Analysis essays. It gives you the feel of what it feels like to have written a good, professional essay, and knowing that you can work from them gives you the confidence to move forward with a fresh sense of confidence.There are many ways to use these essays, but using a sample gives you a good feel for how it feels to actually write an AP Rhetoric Analysis essay. It is also a goo d way to see how a paper is structured before you actually sit down to write it and see the sorts of questions that you might come across when you are doing research for your AP Rhetoric Analysis.Since you will likely have a lot of research work ahead of you, you may well find yourself wondering about the kinds of questions that you may come across as you research, or while you are writing your essay. Using a sample is an excellent way to start thinking about these things, and thus being able to answer them early on will help you get through the bulk of the writing process much more easily.However, using student samples is not all that useful if you end up not using them. Instead, I suggest that you read through your own work carefully and then write out your own words, hand them in, and critique yourself over your paper. This not only gives you a better feel for what is going on with your own writing, but it also gives you a great idea of how well you understand AP Rhetoric Analysi s material.I do not know if you do this already, but you should always turn to student samples as a way to gain a feel for how something works. Because there are so many AP Rhetoric Analysis essays covering a wide range of topics, it is very easy to lose sight of exactly what you are trying to achieve as you write, and you need to use your own working paper as a model for what you expect your final piece to look like.This gives you a good model of the structure of your essay, and this is one of the benefits of using a student sample. You should not hesitate to use these if you need to, and if you need more practice before you use them, then be sure to go back over your essay and run it through the same process with a few different examples to give yourself a chance to get used to what a specific AP Rhetoric Analysis essay looks like.It is important to realize that there is no substitute for writing your own essay. However, it is also important to make sure that you do this as often as possible, so that you always have an understanding of what kind of writing you are doing and what kind of skill you are building.
