Unit Test Prep

Hi all,

Today in class we reviewed how to write a persuasive/literary paragraph in preparation for our upcoming unit test.  We then read the short story that will be on the test, and started working on paragraph outlines.

Things to review for paragraph writing (you should have all of the below handouts already):

How to write a persuasive paragraph: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4XSIYoQBjwhM3h6cDRWazdlNDg/view?usp=sharing

How to incorporate quotations: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4XSIYoQBjwhS3lHSl9tTDlzZzQ/view?usp=sharing

Literary paragraph checklist: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4XSIYoQBjwhcXc2Rktla0Zra1U/view?usp=sharing

Review all of your terms notes.  In addition to understanding that the terms mean, you should be able to apply the terms to the stories we have read.  For example, what point of view is each story written in?

Handouts:

Since most of the handouts today were test-related, I will not be posting them online.  Please see me if you were away.  Extra copies are in the file folders in our classroom.

You should review all of the stories we have read, and the terms.  We will work on paragraph outlines in class again tomorrow.
