Revisiting the Final for the Final Time: January 18, 2018

Focus: In terms of preparing for the test, what do I need to focus on this semester?

1. Warming up by meeting Academic Vocabulary, Unit 2!

2. Revisiting the final section of the Multiple Choice part of the midterm
  • Untangling complex sentences
  • Paraphrasing quatrain by quatrain
  • BONUS: Scan the heck out of this thing. Two lines have an extra syllable. Look at the line that follow these. What might the purpose of the extra syllable be?
  • Seeking the shift and the tone
  • Working your way towards the best answer (via speed dating)
3. Returning your Beloved essays with the official rubric (and sample essays for you to peruse if needed)

4. Calculating your actual score using this website: http://appass.com/calculators/englishliterature

PLEASE WRITE YOUR ESTIMATED OVERALL SCORE AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCANTRON AND RETURN IT TO ME.

HW:
1. For Friday: Read Chapters 5 and 6 of Invisible Man for Socratic on Friday; prepare your reading ticket.
