This document provides guidance on different types of essays for an AP Language and Composition course, focusing on essays that defend, challenge, or qualify an author's argument. It explains that a defend essay supports the author's position using at least three specific reasons and quotes. A challenge essay determines what is disagreed with and cites evidence to support those assertions. A qualify essay both defends the author's reasonable points using evidence, and challenges less logical points by finding evidence for an opposing position.
