1 AP Language and Composition Summer Assignment Part 1: You will need to thoughtfully and critically read one of the nonfiction books from the attached list and complete a SOAPStone chart, a short analysis of the argument, and an introduction and body paragraph for your own argument based on the book s claim. (There are three assignments for Part 1 of the Summer Assignment.) Section A SOAPSTone: SOAPSTone is an acronym to help you identify relationships between the speaker or writer, the audience, and the purpose of a text. Understanding these relationships is critical for rhetorical analysis. [20 points for SOAPSTone] Speaker- Occasion- Audience- Purpose- Subject- Tone- Who is the speaker (writer)? What do we know about this person? What is the context in which this was delivered/written? What prompted the speaker/writer to produce this piece? Who is the intended audience (this may be one person, a small group, or a large group; it may be a certain person or a certain people)? Why was this piece delivered/written? What goal did the speaker/writer have in mind? What is the general topic, content, or idea contained in the text? What is the attitude expressed by the speaker/writer? Examine the choice of words, emotions expressed, imagery used to determine the speaker's attitude. Assignment: Complete the attached SOAPSTone chart based on the book you have chosen. If you find yourself not understanding a term or question, be proactive and conduct research. There are many sites that explain SOAPStone which is a collection of elements that you have seen prior to 11 th grade. Section B Analysis of argument: This involves identifying the primary components of argument- primary claim, secondary claims, support/evidence, commentary, and conclusion. [20 points for Analysis and Appeals] Assignment: Complete the attached Analysis of Argument form based on the text you have chosen. Section C Developing your own argument: Now that you have read one writer s position on the subject, take time to develop your own position on the same topic. [30 points for typed Intro, Body Paragraph, and proper MLA Format] Assignment: Write an introduction and ONE body paragraph in which you define your position on the subject you ve read about and make one supporting argument for that position. MLA header format (look online- OWL Purdue), typed, double-spaced and roughly a page. You should include: Primary Claim (your central argument) One Secondary Claim- claim that support your primary claim Evidence (for your claim)- this can include credible articles, interviews, examples, and other sources that should be cited. Commentary- explains, elaborates, and connects evidence to the claim Part 2: In addition, you are expected to complete the longform.org assignment; familiarize yourself with the site and questions, which relate to the writing and critical reading skills you need to bolster throughout the year. [30 pts] Part 3: Familiarize yourself with the AP Lang Exam format by visiting and reviewing the College Board site: [Formative] These assignments are designed to help increase your familiarity with analysis and argumentation. They will also help you establish useful approaches to deep reading and analysis of nonfiction texts. All Parts listed above are due Wednesday, August 29 (A Day) or Thursday, August 30 (B Day). This summer assignment adds up to100 summative points for first quarter.
