Program: 2006 Summer Open Program - AP Strategies for the Non-AP Teacher @ SJSU
Non-AP teachers looking to teach AP strategies to their students will benefit from this week-long immersion in writing strategies, analytic modes, mythological study, alternative approaches to style and grammar, and expanding your writing curriculum. Going beyond the five-paragraph essay, we will cover multiple approaches to research, varied analytic techniques, and a wide range of structures to prepare students to compose poetry, the personal essay, feature writing, persuasive pieces, and critical analyses. Our study in mythology will explain how to unlock key themes in all literature and use those themes to compose reflective and analytic writing. Finally, we will explore alternative approaches to style to illustrate how studying diction, syntax, and tone is key to developing voice.
