Wed. Apr. 12, 2017: Essay Submission and Test Prep

Today, you submitted your essay and then I gave you information on the test you will write tomorrow. I have pasted the notes below:

Short Story with Poetry Test Prep

There will be three readings: two poems and one short story.

I will mark you on active reading. In a test, this means highlighting 5 ws and highlighting/looking up unknown words (yes, you get a dictionary/thesaurus), and paraphrasing.

You will be marked on process of elimination (crossing out the two definite distractors, then circling the answer you believe is correct).

If the uncircled answer is the correct one, I will give you a half mark.

There will be 23 multiple choice questions.
