It was twenty feet square, placed in the middle of the room. The superfices was composed of several bits of wood, about the bigness of a die, but some larger than others. They were all linked together by slender wires. These bits of wood were covered, on every square, with paper pasted on them; and on these papers were written all the words of their language, in their several moods, tenses, and declensions; but without any order.
As Quarter 4 began and the AP exam loomed ahead, we brought the year to a close by examining the rhetorical process. The goal of this quarter was for students to describe the subtle relations and distinctions between thinking, speaking, and writing. The 20th century of British Literature provided the ideal outlet: Joyce, Woolf, and T.S. Eliot's expressions of consciousness and Orwell's examination of language and thought formed an excellent foundation for discussion. We debated in detail the relationship between thinking, speaking, and writing, and the role that the rhetorical process has on all three. We took time in this unit to study a variety of speeches, which are common on the exam, and looked a little beyond Britain to address the great orations of various time periods and nations. The students crafted a speech of their own, in which they used the subtleties of language they had cultivated to affect the consciousness of their audience. They delivered a final address to their classmates as the ultimate expression of their rhetorical abilities.
After composing a syllabus to this effect, I held my breath as the College Board made a decision about its validity. A quick positive response brought relief and confidence. Alternative approaches like this one to the Language and Composition course are, it seems, quite welcome at AP Central. As I have taught the course according to this model for the first time this year, however, the final test remains to see how adroitly my students will perform on the actual exam. Will their AP scores prove this version of the course to be effective? Their essays and practice tests thus far lead me to believe so, but, with all AP instructors, I anxiously await the truly definitive decision: the May exam, and the July scores to follow it. If success comes as I expect, my students will have the advantage not only of a thorough understanding of rhetoric and expository modes and the college credits that accompany that knowledge, but also of familiarity with the English language, British history and culture, and authors and works of universal significance. With a year of study in this framework complete, my question about the success of this approach has received a very positive response, and the process of asking and finding it has been a rewarding one.
