Activity: Based on previous English and literature standardized tests that I have taken, I am expecting the AP English Language exam to include subjective multiple choice questions that are attached to small pieces of textual evidence that we will need to analyze. History exams included within the AP program are often similar, and this is really the only prior knowledge that I have of how these tests are organized. For example, we will most likely not get asked, "What is the writer's mood?" Instead, we will more often be subjected to questions such as "In what ways does the author's diction and syntax convey their purpose in writing the above text?" The second question involves much more thinking and analysis than the first, and that is the goal that I believe this AP exam is built upon (requiring students to think and analyze what they read).
