Finish reading your novel for next class. I'll give you time to discuss your lit circle roles and prepare for discussion next Tuesday.
Exam Prep
Depending on where you are in your preparation, you may find the resources below useful:
How should I study literary terms?
Know your strengths from our vocabulary sheet. This sheet is not an exhaustive list, but it is a good starting point. You may consider making custom flash cards from your own reading experience. Placing passages/stanzas that you've read on the front and terms and definitions on the back is the best strategy. Because you'll need to pick out many of these terms as you read, you will want to work from your reading comprehension toward the terms. Here is a flash card strategy example.
Where can I compare my writing to others' writing on the various essay prompts?
Here is a link to the last decade of questions with sample responses for each question. By reading through what others have written, you can measure how your organizing and sharing of your thinking in response to a prompt stacks up against others who've taken the exam.
