For Monday, March 24

HOMEWORK:

Complete the multiple choice packet I gave you in class today.  Set your timer for one hour.  If your timer goes off before you finish the entire packet, draw a line under the last question answered and go on until you complete each question.

Good tips for upcoming exam:
Review great literature you have read in the past.  So look at sparknotes for Hamlet, Tale of Two Cities, All Quiet on the Western Front, Romeo and Juliet, Things Fall Apart, Till We Have Faces, 1984, Macbeth, Beowulf, and Metamorphosis.  The novels and plays most often listed as options for question 3 are underlined.  I have written the college board in the past, and they acknowledge Till We Have Faces as a quality option for Question 3 essays.

Coming up:  We will read Heart of Darkness and Antigone which are both excellent choices for many question 3 prompts.  My suggestion is this:  Select a few (3)
of the things you have enjoyed during your reading history...really brush up on those works...then, you will be well prepared for question 3 of the exam.
