Assignment:   Using the prompt and sources you developed for your AP synthesis project, write an AP synthesis essay in response to your prompt.  The essay is worth 70 possible points, and I will assess it holistically according to the rubric you created. Typically students write 2 ½ to 4 pages depending on the size of their handwriting and variation in style and/or development of their writing. 
Materials: You must have your own copy of your prompt, sources, and rubric.  You may not share with a partner.  You will staple your essay to the front of your AP synthesis packet and hand it in at the end of class. You will have approximately 45 minutes to complete your essay.

Thoughtfully evaluate and articulately take a position on an important issue you have researched.
Prepare for timed writing assignments in college and on the AP Language and Composition exam.
