Eng. 11 - March 11 - How to Study for the Sight Test and Content Test

Sight Reading - you will be reading a story and answering 6 paragraph answers on any of the seven elements and how they work in the story. To prepare - do very well on your presentations (and listen to others). Study your notes on the elements and know how to use the terms. You must make 5 points to earn 5 marks per paragraph.


Content Test - know all seven stories and how the seven elements work in each one. 10 marks for fill in the blank (author's names, element notes, literary devices) 10 marks- examples and definitions of literary terms/elements; 30 marks - paragraph answers on devices and how they apply to the stories; 5 marks - the significance of a quote.

To study: go over your notes, think of each element and how it applies to each story. Phone a friend a test each other.

The stories we have studied: "Hills Like White Elephants," "A Lady's Beaded Bag," "We Have to Sit Opposite," "A Serious Talk," "1955," "Sunday in the Park," and "The Blue Bouquet."

Element Notes: Setting and Atmosphere, Conflict, Symbol, Irony, Character, Theme and Point of View
