AP Language Argument and Synthesis Practice Activity: Schools and Technology
Using the 2010 Synthesis Question (about schools and technology), I've created a brainstorm and outline assignment for students in order to practice how to think through a well-reasoned and structured argument or synthesis essay.

"From The Ion" 5 Paragraph Essay
This Lesson Changes EVERYTHING!The Ion is one of the most challenging texts for high schoolers to read... which is exactly why we need to teach it. We don't teach it so we overwhelm students with all the details of Greek culture and philosophy. We teach it so that we can prove to the students that they can write a paper on anything... even something they don't fully comprehend. Now this lesson is not for a teacher who isn't willing to risk, share their struggles, or expects perfection from thei

I have added a loom video explanation on how I use this packet. Here is an excerpt from the instruction on R
