Tues. Oct. 24, 2017: Test Prep: Poetry

Today, I handed out the test prep sheet for tomorrow's exam. I am pasting it below:

ELA B 10 Poetry Unit: Test Prep

Your exam will consist of two poetry readings and ten figurative devices questions. There are 17 questions total. They are all multiple choice.

Each reading must be read actively (see below).

Each multiple choice question must be answered using process of elimination (eliminating the “wrong” answers to arrive at the best two and then circling the best one) and active reading.

Timed Activity: 60 minutes only

You will be marked as follows:
