Write a synthesis essay that takes a stand on the issue of community service contained in the sources on pages 145-166 of your text The Language of Composition. Synthesize at least three sources for support. (1st edition students, use the issue of volunteerism contained in the sources on pp. 72-85.) As you write, remember that essays will be graded with a six-point rubric based on the AP* nine-point scale. High-scoring essays will demonstrate that the writer considered the prompt carefully and responded to it insightfully with strong supporting evidence. These essays will also exhibit stylistic sophistication, including purposeful organization, precise diction, and engaging syntax. Whether or not the essay is timed, conforming to the conventions of standard American English is expected. You may use any of the tools available to you, such the Checklist, Spellchecker, or Graphic Organizer.
