Prompt For this assignment you will continue your understanding of how to write a synthesis essay by writing a "mini research paper." You will
research political cartoons or another form of visual rhetoric, choose two on one subject and then research an article on the same
subject. Using these three documents, synthesize them into a cohesive 500 word essay which explains each, and concludes with your
own perspective on the subject. Cite all your sources and include a Works Cited page using MLA form. 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.

A  song, most broadly, is a single (and often standalone) work of music that is typically intended to be sung by the human voice with  distinct and fixed pitches  and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of  forms  that often include the repetition of sections. the word "song" is widely used by people in the popular music industry to describe any musical composition, whether sung or played only by instruments. "written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called  lyrics. if a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an  art song. songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called  chants. songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as  folk songs. songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the  mass market  are called popular songs. these songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert or recital performances. songs are performed live and recorded on audio or video (or, in some cases, a song may be performed live and simultaneously recorded). songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
