Senior Test Review

Upon further review . . .

The test on description/setting, point of view, and characterization will be given in two parts on Wednesday and Thursday. Part I (Wednesday) will be the strictly objective part of the test, made up of definitions, true-false, and fill-ins. Part II (Thursday) will consist of short answer questions and a short essay.

You must read An Act of Faith (by Irwin Shaw in the Points of View book) in preparation for Thursday's part of the test. In reading this book, pay particular attention to setting, point of view, and characterization.

On Monday we'll finish discussing The Lottery in class.

Tuesday will be an in-class reading day, that is you may read and review notes or stories and/or check with me to get notes that you may have missed.

Here is what the test will cover:

Notes on setting, point of view (definitions of the points of view that we studied), and characterization.
Notes on The Portable Phonograph
Notes on The Shawl
Notes on The Stone Boy
Notes on The Jilting of Granny Weatherall
Notes on A & P
Notes on The Lottery
Life is Beautiful (see worksheet on major themes--questions on this movie will be part of the optional short answers)
Your preparation of notes on An Act of Faith

I'll leave some files of notes for you on Studywiz.

Wednesday and Thursday will be the testing days. Friday is a test make-up day.
