Your 9 weeks test is scheduled for Thursday, October 6.
1. Know the MLA formula for citing a newspaper article that is printed-not an online version. Be able to create a context sentence, a paraphrase, and a direct quote using the article. Remember to set up the direct quote. Don't forget to include the necessary information in the parenthetical citation. I will give you a very short article to use on the test. We practiced doing this in class today. All of you should have mastered this skill. If you have questions, please come see me after school or before school.
2. Draw the diagram that explains the hero's journey according to Joseph Campbell's model.
3. Review Beowulf and Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave." There will be ten basic comprehension multiple choice questions based on the literature. Do not stress. If you have read the stories, you will be fine. Consider this section a reward.
4. The vocabulary section for the 9 weeks test will be matching or multiple choice. My definitions come from the New Oxford American Dictionary. Listed below are the vocabulary words that we have covered; please excuse the wacky formatting.
