Sight Reading and Content Tests

Sight Reading Test: you will be reading a short story and applying our knowledge of literary elements. Make sure you are familiar with all: irony, symbol, setting and atmosphere, plot and conflict, emotion and humour, character, point of view and theme. Review the handouts you've been given. If you feel like you don't understand an element - read the chapter in Story and Structure

Content - Prepare page of quotations from the 6 stories we have read.

Lit: "The Japanese Quince," "The Dead Men's Path," "Just Lather, That's All," "The Lottery," "The Destructors," "Paul's Case"

Eng. 12: "The Japanese Quince," "The Rockinghorse Winner," "Just Lather, That's All," "The Lottery," "The Destructors," "Paul's Case"

You may use one double sided piece of paper. No notes. Please have your page numbers.
Review advice I've given about writing - class notes and individual advice.

I will be asking you to refer to three short stories - I will refer to TWO elements. Eg. How does the setting affect the conflict in three of the short stories we have studied. Your job is to come up with a narrow thesis which allows for synthesis and depth of argumetn.
