Teacher Talk: Organizing and Writing a Successful AP® Literature FRQ 3

From the chief reader's report about AP® English Literature FRQ Q3: "Responses to this question were designed to demonstrate choice, comprehension, and ability to develop and support a claim. While the first two free-response questions build on a supplied text, this question includes both the opportunity and the challenge for students to choose a work to discuss...What readers were looking for was analysis and synthesis—what pieces and parts were chosen for discussion, what explanation and commentary were given, and how that explanation and commentary created a line of reasoning.” Join me to discuss some effective organizational and writing strategies to help students write successful responses to FRQ Q3!
