The following terms will be found on your semester exam.
I encourage you to use your glossary, and any notes from this school year, to
define the terms and provide examples from literature.
The exam consists of new literature (fiction and literary nonfiction) and a grammar
(edit/revise) section.
I implore you to annotate the reading section; use the dictionary for new vocabulary
and/or to check spelling; and use the process of elimination on multiple choice
questions.
