2nd Quarter Exam

Things that will be on your test next week:

Monday:  In-class essay in which you will read and analyze how the author uses the tools of language to achieve his/her purpose.  Remember to answer the entire prompt.  The more detail, evidence, and explanation you include in your analysis, the higher your score.

Tuesday:  The test is a combo of multiple choice, long answer, and short answer.  It will be a combo of answering questions on the actual test and scantron.

  1. Literature--two long answer questions over The Jungle (consider how you did and what you can do to improve the answers you had on the practice test) and some short answer questions about the two short stories we just completed.
  2. Textbook--know the important terms and concepts in the chapters on Toulmin logic, fallacies, the "research chapters," and humor.
