Vocabulary

During the first, second, and third nine weeks of AP English, we defined a set of words each week. The words ranged from rhetorical terms to tone words to advanced diction. As a class we discussed the literal meaning, use, and connotations of the words, all in an effort to improve our comprehension, expand our vocabulary, and better our writing.

Standards Covered:

Vocabulary, Word Study, Fluency— Students shall acquire and apply skills in vocabulary development and word analysis to be able to read fluently.
