Oh, and don’t forget about the name & vocabulary quizzes tomorrow!
English 10 Final Exam Review [.doc]
The poetry test is tomorrow, 6 June 2007. Classes went over material they are to be tested on today in class.
The first page consists of matching. Know the definitions of the following poetry terms:
The second page has the poem “The Art of Drowning.” There is a word bank on the bottom of the page, which tells which poetic elements must be identified in the poem. These elements consist of the following:
The third page contains the Emily Dickinson poem that begins with the line “Because I could not stop for Death.” Students must analyze the poem, showing the form, meaning, musicality, and figurative language. While there are a wide variety of plausible responses, students must be able to support what they right with evidence from the poem.
The fourth page is a mystery and was not disclosed by the real Herr Stuck.
Her/hes — “to stick” or “to get stuck”
Just a friendly reminder that this Memorial Day weekend is your last weekend to finish your MGRP’s, which are due next Friday, 1 June 2007. For those using Google Homepage you can email me and I’ll invite you to use the MGRP Due Date Countdown Widget. After today, only eight more days… Herr Stuck can’t bail you out on this one either, so if you have yet to start, face the fact that you are probably screwed anyway.
Mor/mort — “To die” or “death”
It’s somewhat late, so I’ll post the links, definitions and such later. If you want to speed up the process, leave comments to harass my Gmail inbox.
Extra — places words outside or beyond their usual or routine territory.
Sorry it took so long to get this up — lots of shenanigans this week. Be prepared for a quiz containing “Julius Caesar” in addition to vocab from this week and last week. Possibly some grammar on there as well, so anything is possible.
Words from mythology this week, so there are no roots to learn. While I haven’t asked, I am quite certain that Cassandra is not a synonym for Creative, so don’t be fooled by [begin obscure Terry Tate reference] mythology’s crazy mind games, because sometimes, it’s about intimidation you know [/Office Linebacker].
