Today's class was a review of poetry prompts - especially when you have 2 poems to analyze, MC strategies, and the literary term cards. The final, as noted many a time, will be 2 parts: a poetry prompt and a full MC test (close read, close read, close read, close read, interact with the passage, interact with the passage, interact with the passage, interact with the passage - if this hypnotizes you into marking up your passages, then I have found a new strategy of teaching).
For those of you in seventh hour, you have the pleasure of taking the final all at one time! I guess the benefit to this scheduling is that you may choose which part of the final to complete first and which to reserve for second.
For second and fourth hour, you will take the writing prompt first and then the MC on the actual final period.
And, for all of you procrastinators out there, the Lear psychoanalysis essay is due by 12:30 p.m. on Friday in hard copy only. This is the last grade for the quarter, so if you are on that bubble between 2 grades for the semester, this may determine if you end up on the plus or minus side of your wanted grade.
