Catch Up

Things to be SURE you are done with:

  1. Review of Book #3: You started this in your Book Review Doc on Wednesday last week. Tip: look at the blog post below from Wednesday if you need help on this review. It is due today. 
  2. English Journal: Have you completed all of your entries in your EJ? The chart picture lists all the work you should have there for this unit. Making sure this work is complete will help you prepare for the test tomorrow. 
Prepare for your test: 
The test Wednesday will ask you to read a short story (less than 2 pages) and then answer questions about:
  • Characterization
  • Internal and external conflict
  • Setting and imagery
  • Sensory Details 
  • Diction (word choice)
  • Connotation and Denotation
  • Plot
  • Theme
Example question types: 
What does the setting tell you about the character? 
Which word from the story has the most positive connotation?
Which of the following is part of the exposition of the story? 
Which of these is an internal conflict for the character? 
There are 10-20 questions on the test.
