You have completed at least two practice exams. More exams available on-line. Practice. Practice. Practice.
Tonight: Re-read your section C composition, the criteria, the corrections, and the topics. Check to see if the sample that you wrote would fit all the topics listed on the sheet. (These topics are from former examinations). A new topic will be somewhat similar but worded differently.
Think of another story that you could write so that you have all of the topics covered. If you would like, write a new one so you feel really prepared.
Dialogue: Re-read how to punctuate speech. If you cannot find the handout, there are extra handouts on my desk. Grab one.
Tomorrow: BIG VOCAB. TEST! ALL 75 WORDS. Plus, we will prepare for section B. You will feel ready to study for the big day. Make sure you know obvious terms such as metaphor, symbol, simile, personification, onomatopoeia, irony, alliteration. Other terms will be there to distract you. For a complete list, visit this link: Literary Terms
Most of these terms we have covered. We have covered all of the key terms. Check your notes.
