The FINAL

For the spring English final which will take place on Wednesday June 3 at 8:00 A.M., there is no official study guide, but you have received study guides for Romeo and Juliet as well as The War of the Worlds. Most of the literature questions on the final refer to those works. As for the grammar, you should review Elements of Language chapters 12 through 26. Most of these chapters are very basic, and many of the questions on the final are equally as basic, so I think that the review we will do in class tomorrow will be sufficient to guide you through the 190 question exam. Of all of the questions, the only "new" questions are those that refer to The War of the Worlds, but if you read with the aim of answering the questions on the reading guide, you should have no troubles with that section of the final.

May 27

Agenda:

Class started with a review of the reading check questions from Act V of Romeo and Juliet.

Then we took the open note, open worksheet, open study guide, open dictionary test on Romeo and Juliet. It was 80 questions, and it is very difficult.

After the test, I distributed reading guides for The War of the Worlds, and we constructed our 8 page notebooks.

You may use the 8 page notebook on the test next class, but you may only use the green notebook. No other color will be permitted, and your study guide must be presented in the form of an 8 page notebook.

Homework:

Finish your 8 page notebook.

Study for the Chapter 25 test.

Read chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12 in The War of the Worlds. It's an awesome story, but the movie is nothing like the novel, so do not rely on the movie.

May 26 HONORS

The class visited the computer lab to write an essay that addressed the role of fate in the play. The trip to the lab took a little longer than expected, so we didn't get to review too much for the test. Nevertheless, we will have an exam next class.
