Next week is our midterm exam.  I know you all are so excited about this!  Please use the blog post to have a "study" group with your classmates.  Clarify your information etc.

Here's what you need to study:

Scarlett Letter- comprehension questions and an analysis question.  In general, if you read the book and listened in class you will be able to answer these questions.  No trickery on my part.  Straightforward questions.

Uncle Tom's Cabin- comprehension questions and a literary analysis exercise. Just like the one we did in class.

Literary Terms- matching

Know the 5 point Plot Structure by Freytag.

Review all your notes from class

Characteristics of a slave narrative and a captivity narrative.  Be ready to give examples of each type of literature.

Poetry questions- Be ready to analyze a poem in class without notes.  :)

Questions about the 3 literary periods we have studied so far.

A short essay question on a subject we've discussed in class.  This will be a Mars Hill type question.

Comprehension questions about Ben Franklin Autobiography, Rip Van Winkle and Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Questions about MLA formatting and using quotations in a literary analysis paper.

The test is worth 100 points.  There will be no extra credit offered on this exam.

There will be no additional blog question this week so you can study for the exam.
