Dear 2012-2013 AP Language and Composition Students,
The following words are part of the summer homework assignment that Mrs. White gave to you before the end of last school year. I will be collecting this assignment and the outline of your AP study guide during the first week of school. At the end of the first week, you will have a 50 point quiz on these words, followed by another one the following week, another one the following week, another one the following week, and yes, another one the following week, and every week at least until the end of the first quarter. The vocabulary assignment may be typed, but I prefer it to be handwritten; in fact, 10 extra-credit points will be added to handwritten assignments. The outline can be typed or handwritten; no extra credit will be given for handwritten outlines. There are 53 words here. Make sure they are numbered when you turn in your work. I will not accept work without numbers.
If you have any questions, you may email me.
AP vocabulary (know these words!):
rhetoric, thesis, assertion, persona, ethos, logos, pathos, concession, counterargument, refute, connotation, propaganda, syntax, diction, trope, scheme, metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, parallelism, juxtaposition, antithesis, periodic sentence, cumulative sentence, oxymoron, zeugma, archaic, complex sentence, declarative sentence, anaphora, hortative sentence, imperative sentence, antimetabole, alliteration, allusion, asyndeton, metonymy, rhetorical question, colloquial, analogy, anecdote, antecedent, aphorism, appositive, authority, bias, claim, epigram, satire, paradox, synecdoche, syllogistic argument
8/11/12
Clarification for the vocabulary portion of the summer assignment: What is required for the vocabulary is that the definition of each literary term be given; an example be provided of each literary term "in action"; and an explanation of the rhetorical purpose for using the literary term must be included, too. And do not forget to number your work.
Ex. (This is what your work should be modeled on.)
1. Onomatopoeia--A word that sounds like its meaning.
Example--The firecracker boomed in the darkness.
Purpose--Onomatopoeia is used to emphasize a sound or action.
