I also reminded them that "Ex Basketball Player" and the devices worksheet are both dead-lined for the end of the day tomorrow (there will not be an alternative as I have already extended the time.)
I am pasting the test prep information below:
Poetry Test Prep: ELAB10
In order to do well on the upcoming exam, you
will need to study and apply the steps to reading poetry.
On an exam, I will
NOT mark on the “after” activities, so you will NOT need to demonstrate these.
I WILL mark you on
title analysis, rhyme scheme, stanzas, lines, punctuation, highlighting, layout
anomaly identification, highlighting unknown words (though you will not be able
to look them up; it still helps with identification), and highlighting and defining
literary (figurative/stylistic/MOSES) devices. If you find ONE example of
something, that is enough!!!!
You will not be able
to access dictionaries or thesaurus’
You will also need to
know the following literary devices from your literary devices sheet (and just
general):
Alliteration rhythm satire Personification
Simile oxymoron double
negative apostrophe
Metaphor repetition prolepsis
Onomatopoeia
Hyperbole irony consonance euphemism
Allusion sarcasm parallel
structure figurative
Rhetorical
question Connotation(- +)
To do well
on this exam, you must engage in active reading AND apply active reading and
process of elimination skills to the multiple choice questions.
I will
mark you as follows:
Sixty
Multiple choice questions 60

One poem:
Must actively read 26

Process of
