Poetry Test

The whole hour was dedicated to the poetry test, which examined the types of poetry, meter, feet, stanzas, and poetic devices. If absent for this exam, you will need to either make up the exam or schedule a specific time to complete the exam in the next 48 hours, which would equate to the end of the school day on Wednesday. If you do not do so, you will not have makeup privileges.

Students also turned in the Carpe Diem box prompt.

Tuesday will be a timed poetry prompt.

Thursday will be a review of the box prompt, the poetry test, and the timed writing prompt. We will do a few multiple choice passages to prep for the final, and you will receive the self-evaluation handout for your psychoanalysis essay.

As we do not have time to start The Metamorphosis, we will have the opportunity to use Friday's class time for peer evaluations or general writing time if you do not have any drafts complete.

The final will be one full MC test and one timed poetry prompt. Altogether, that would mean 1 hour and 45 minutes of testing time. Ergo, we will split the final into two halves with the writing prompt on Monday and the MC on Wednesday.

The final draft of the psychoanalysis essay has a deadline of December 22 at 11:00 a.m. This is a hard copy assignment as specified on the handout and must be delivered by this time.

Barring severe illness or emergency, make sure that you are in class every day for the next week. Missing any of these point opportunities will negatively impact your final semester grade.
