Our First TEST!!!

Hi Gang,
So, hopefully, you are all busy studying hard for our first test TOMORROW (Wednesday)!  What exactly should you be studying? Well, you should review all of your class notes and know all of the important terms we discussed in class such as: characterization, flat v. original characters, setting, mood, imagery, sensory detail, diction, strong v. weak verbs, connotation, internal and external conflict, protagonist, and antagonist, etc... You should be VERY familiar with your novel and able to identify the protagonists, antagonists, main conflict - whether it's internal or external - and how the conflict affects the main characters..

REMEMBER: You need to bring the following items to the exam tomorrow:

1) A pencil
2) Your class novel
3) Your current independent reading book

Also, for Friday, you need to bring in a "Model Novel." This should be a novel you have already read, enjoyed and are very familiar with. You can use your class novel if you want or bring in another novel of your choosing.

Happy Studying!!!
