It's your last one! And you don't have to study for it! Happy holiday weekend. =)
Your last quarter exam has two parts:
Part I--AP passages and multiple choice questions
This is a chance to demonstrate your critical reading skills in the moment. It's not critically reading something you get to spend lots of time on or have discussion opportunities to learn from. It's just straight-up critical reading skills. Do you understand the purpose, audience, structure, tone, rhetorical devices and appeals of what you read? Can you dig into the details of a text and answer rhetorical questions about a short passage?
Part II--Long answer question about Beloved
This is the other side of critical reading. First of all, Beloved is a long text, a full-length novel, rather than a short text. Second, you DO get more depth in your understanding if you not only critically read it yourself, but you also have time to study and discuss that text. So this section asks you to write about your understanding of the last major text of the year.
