AP Lit: Teach the Three Essays - Step by Step Slideshows (Q1, Q2, Q3)

Whether you are just beginning to teach your students the various essays on the AP English Literature and Composition exam or merely looking for another resource to guarantee your students the thesis point AND set them up to earn sophistication - this bundle is calling to you!

This bundle includes all you need to introduce the three AP Lit essays: Q1 Poetry, Q2 Prose, and Q3 Theme. Each essay is focused around the following prompts/passages:

• Q1: "XIV" by Derek Walcott (2015)
• Q2: Johnny Got his Gun by Dalton Trumbo (2007)
• Q3: Hierarchy Prompt (2022)

The bundle also includes reflection lessons with exemplars for the Q1 and Q3 prompts.

***Note, I teach the Q1 and Q2 very similarly. If purchasing this bundle, you will notice a similar format between the two lessons.
