English 11: Short Story Test Wednesday

Tomorrow's test is a comprehension test. I am evaluating your ability to read a story, find pertinent detail to answer the question, create inferences and synthesize it all into a formal, literary paragraph that is expressed well.

Study:

• How to integrate quotations with page numbers. Speech is different from descriptions. 
• The literary must-haves list.
• Previous paragraph feedback from me and from peer editors. 
• How to write a thesis statement. 
• Good verb usage, sentence variety, and transitions. 
• Re-read any model paragraphs I have given you. 
• Know that you will need to manage your time.
