REVIEW for Final Exam
Open notebook is deceptively hard: of course you have the handwritten vocabulary words-- twelve units. Reading logs for all of the literature we studied. What could the exam test you on? Everything and your ability to notice little things-- for example: Select the best answer-- The writer of the novel the crucible is a) Author Miller b) Arthur Miller c) Earnest Hemmingway d) None of the above. (answer is below) HW STUDY/ PREPARE FOR OPEN NOTEBOOK FINAL EXAM BRING #2 PENCILS THIS IS A TIMED TEST-- IF YOU ARE LATE OR ABSENT WITHOUT A PASS OR LETTER FROM HOME THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE UP THE MISSED TIME AND A "0" WILL BE AVERAGED INTO YOUR END OF YEAR GRADE! answer: d) None of the above-- because The Crucible was a play and not a novel. So, read all of the answers before you pick one. Read carefully to see what each question is actually asking. Go to your notebook as a last resort! 200 questions at three minutes each looking up the answer is 600 minutes or 10 hours: you have 2 hours to take the test. How easy is this? |
