Lucky you! You’ve found the
Official ArgueLab AP Lang Companion Guide
(JUMP TO THE CONTENTS)
Students: This stuff is really for you. We want to give you another way to understand the concepts in rhetoric that stump you or just seem entirely useless. We’re here to help. You’ll find short notes on each of the concepts in AP Lang, often with videos for dessert. Follow Jay @jayheinrichs on Twitter, subscribe to our updates, or just come back regularly as we add more goodies.
Teachers: Be sure to check out the For Educators section of ArgueLab. And consider booking Jay for a free video chat with your class. We’ll keep adding material and videos in the weeks to come. To make sure you see the new stuff, subscribe below or follow @jayheinrichs on Twitter. We’ll also post changes on the Facebook AP Language and Composition Teachers page. Please let us know what you think we get wrong, and what you’d like to see!
Everybody: If you want more on AP Lang, check out Timm Freitas’s website, The Garden of English. Timm teaches AP Lang, and he’s a coauthor of a textbook designed for the course.
