  1. Creating the Note Cards AP Language and Composition

  2. Step One: Choose a category Style/Structure – the form of the text Purpose – the reason for Audience – questions related to the reader Diction – word choice Figurative Language – making unusual comparisons Imagery – creating sensory empathy

  3. Step 2: Write the question • Employ AP Jargon. (use the key words/phrases chart) • Pattern your question after a practice test question or a Patterns question • It’s possible that the category will not be obvious until justification. (I’ll explain this)

  4. Example If one were building a house of horrors, which of the following would be best suitable as a model or inspiration?

  5. Step 3: Create Answer Choices • There should be no obviously wrong choices • There should be one that seems right but isn’t • You need to be able to defend the correct answer logically • There should be five choices (A-E) • Cite the line or paragraph if possibe

  6. Example If one were building a house of horrors, which of the following would be best suitable as a model or inspiration? • Piazza of the Grand Duke (8) • Palazzo Vecchio (9) • The Castle of Otranto (11,12) • Ponte Vecchio (27, 28) • Galley of the Grand Duke (33)

  7. Step 4: Write the justification • Use the back of the note card • Write 2 or 3 sentences that explain how or why the correct answer is the logical choice • Be sure sure you’ve explained why none of the other choices are correct. • It’s not enough to say “there not correct.”

  8. Example C. The Castle of Otranto is described using such terms as “ponderous gloom,” “faded” and “tarnished” and “mouldering.” These are evocative of a place that is creepy and frightening. None of the other choices projects these qualities.
