You exam is tomorrow morning.
Be here by 8:45 and expect to write until 12 pm.

They were also encouraged to study the following:

MOSES sheet (figurative devices)
"15 Common Errors" booklet
"How to write a Personal Response Paragraph"
"How to Write a Critical Analysis Essay Introduction in Seven Sentences"
Personal notes on how to write an essay

Keep in mind that your cheat sheets can only be checked and returned up until Monday. If they come in Monday and are problematic, you will not get those for the exam on Tuesday.

Mon. Jan. 16, 2017: Test Prep: Draft

Today, you will be given three "Draft" readings (very similar to part C of your final: See Friday's Blog for more details if you were absent). You are to read and answer the questions using your "15 Common Errors" Booklet. The goal here is to memorize the rules of punctuation and grammar.

I will not be posting the major essay question on the blog.

If you are not here (the weather kept people away), you CAN watch this online. just copy and paste the following site and line it up to where you last saw the film. If you can't load it this way, do a google search on the movie. I found it on YouTube. Tomorrow, we will start prepping for the final.
