2nd Qtr Exam


The test is a combo of matching, multiple choice and short answer.  Some questions will be answered right on the test while others will be scantron.

  1. Terms--know the textbook terms from this quarter including Toulmin logic, fallacies, humor, etc.
  2. Course content--in addition to terms, you'll need to understand the key concepts in the chapters on Toulmin logic, fallacies, the "research chapters," and humor.
  3. AP Multiple-Choice section--you'll read one nonfiction passage and answer the questions following which focus on critical reading and rhetoric we have covered thus far in the course.

To Prepare:  Your best strategy is a well-done and organized journal.  If you use your journal well, take notes over your own reading and supplement them with class discussion notes, you probably have the answer to every question on the test.  We have made what is important very clear in class.  

However, if you haven't done a lot of great preparation in your journal, we would HIGHLY SUGGEST you go back and read all of the assigned chapters, hopefully remembering/looking at the notes and discussion from class, to be sure you understand all of the important rhetorical concepts.
