AP Language & Composition
DIRECTIONS: On the course wiki, you have been drawn a literary term out of a hat. The terms on this list are essential for you to know on your AP exam this May. To assist with learning these terms as quickly as possible, you are going to create a lesson for your classmates on this term using some form of technology tool. You will then present and upload that lesson to the wiki for everyone to see.
The catch? You cannot use any Microsoft Office tool. Use the Tech Tools page on the wiki to assist you in finding something suitable. In addition, you must create 60% of the content in your project yourself; not simply get the entire project from the Internet. Any videos or other sources must be cited using MLA style. (Note: If you use Prezi or EduGlogster you must narrate or include a video) Step-by-step project instructions are on the class wiki
