Short Story Test

The Short Story Test has been rescheduled to either Wednesday, 1/7 or Thursday, 1/8.

  • The stories that appear on the test are listed in the left side bar.
  • Know the "Elements of the Short Story;" you have a notes handout, and we discussed them while analyzing the stories. Things like point of view, the types of point of view, setting, conflict, style, theme, climax, denouement, etc.
  • See the notes you took on various elements such as foreshadowing, mood, suspense, irony, dramatic irony, verbal irony, situational irony, etc.
  • You do need to know who wrote the stories, but you don't need to know the exact year each story was written.
  • Look over your study guides! The better you filled them out as we initially completed them, the more helpful they will be when studying. Hold on to these until after the midterm.

Test Postponement

Due to the snow, the Short Story Test, originally scheduled for 12/22, 23 will be postponed to the SECOND class after Winter Break (Wednesday 1/7 or Thursday 1/8).

For white day classes, the Subjects-Predicates Quiz will occur on Tuesday, 12/23 as a make up date from last Friday.

See the blog over vacation for additional details about the test.
