AP English Language & Composition Mini Practice Multiple Choice #8 Resource Description This resource is made up of five one-page multiple choice exercises using an opinion piece Clementine Churchill wrote to her husband Winston Churchill in 1940. Stems, foils, and answers are based on the format and rigor of the AP™ English Language & Composition Exam. A detailed answer explanation is provided for each of the ten questions. The author of this product, Angie Burgin Kratzer, is a veteran English teacher and curriculum specialist with extensive experience writing state-level and district-level formative assessment tools for teachers. Suggestions for Use Warm Up/Bell Ringer Get students into thinking mode immediately by starting class with just one page (two questions) of these exercises. Have one on each student desk before the tardy bell rings and warm up those brains. In-Class Practice Have pairs work together to answer the questions. Post the letters A, B, C, D, and E around the room and have students go to the letter indicating their chosen answers. Have students discuss their reasoning within each letter grouping and present to the class. They can change groups based on presented arguments. Closure/Summary Use one exercise as a formative assessment tool at the end of a lesson. Pages have lines for answer defense, so the teacher can get a feel for student thinking. Where space is not allotted, have students use the back. Consider partial credit for good reasoning or deduction for weak reasoning or guessing. Homework Send one page or the whole set home for practice. Scaffolding If you think students are not ready for a full multiple-choice practice, focus on one skill with one of these exercises. AP Exam Review Send this set home the weekend before the AP exam. Terms of Use This product may be used by one teacher for his or her students.

B In line 4, Mrs. Churchill vaguely identifies the person who gave her the information about Churchill’s colleagues and subordinates. He is “one of the men in your entourage (a devoted friend).” 2. E The author’s tone is never mocking even when she quotes him back to himself in lines 30-31. Being abrasive with him would be counterproductive since she is trying to convince him to be less abrasive.

  • First Lady: the Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill
    Published on Reviews in History (http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews) First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill Review Number: 1932 Publish date: Thursday, 12 May, 2016 Author: Sonia Purnell ISBN: 9781781313060 Date of Publication: 2015 Price: £25.00 Pages: 400pp. Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group UK Publisher url: http://www.quartouk.com/products/9781781313060/9781781313060/First-Lady.html Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Bradley Hart In late 1909, a suffragette attacked the Asquith government’s youthful President of the Board of Trade, slashing his face with a whip as he prepared to give a speech in Bristol station. Briefly stunned, he fell toward the station’s tracks at the same moment a train pulled out of the station. Leaping into action as others looked on in horror at the unfolding scene, it was the young politician’s wife who pulled him back – literally by his coat tails – from almost certain death. Had she failed to react so quickly that morning, the name Winston Churchill would likely be known to only a few historians of the early 20th century. Clementine Churchill’s intervention not only saved her husband’s life but, it is tempting to say, likely carried far-reaching consequences for the course of the country’s future. Remove Churchill from the political scene in 1909 and it is at least conceivable – if not substantially more likely – that Britain in 1940 would reach an accommodation with Hitler’s Germany and the world map would look very different today. Anecdotes of this type, and the resulting counterfactuals that are difficult to resist considering, are effectively the raison d'être for Sonia Purnell’s new biography of Clementine Churchill (First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill).

  • WINSTON CHURCHILL BECOMES PRIME MINISTER Winston Emerged Strongly from the Debate in the House of Commons on 7Th and 8Th May 1940
    THE CHURCHILLIAN Churchill Society of Tennessee February 2019 -Special Edition - WHY CLEMENTINE, BARONESS SPENCER CHURCHILL IS DESERVING OF A TARTAN IN HER NAME By Celia Lee The "Clementine Churchill" tartan was first conceived in early 2018 as the result of a conversation between Mr. Randolph Churchill, great-grandson of Clementine, Baroness Spencer Churchilli and Pipe Major Jim Drury, President of the Churchill Society of Tennessee. The conversation began with a question. Did the International Churchill Society have its own tartan? Randolph responded it did not. He then suggested that whatever design was chosen it should have the colour of “marmalade” (gold) as a token of respect to his great-grandmother, The Churchillian Page 1 Clementine. From that point forward the new tartan pattern would be called “Clementine Churchill”. Various elements of Winston and Clementine’s life are represented in the tartan’s colours. The light and dark blues represent the RAF and Royal Navy. The grey background with black and white pinstripe alludes to the style business suit often worn by members of Parliament. However, the marmalade strip is perhaps the strongest element in the pattern and pulls the whole design together. That would be Clementine, Baroness Spencer Churchill. Pipe Major Jim Drury wearing the “Clementine Tartan” for the first time at the 35th Annual Conference of the International Churchill Society, Williamsburg VA, November 2018. The tune being played is “LTC Winston S. Churchill 6th Royal Scots Fusiliers 1916”. - Photo by Professor Allister Vale MD The Churchillian Page 2 Clementine Churchill’s efforts, both in her support of her husband Sir Winston Churchill, and her service to the nation is well worthy of such a tribute.
