Midterm Exams

Art Survey
Your exam covers Chapters 5-13. You should be able to search for the chapter in the box in the upper right, and Chapters 12-13 are now linked, as well. The guidelines for your study guide are below:
  • Create a SLIDES outline to be used on the midterm exam
  • The presentation should at least 3-4 slides on each chapter (5 through 13)
  • Base the content on mine, which is already a summary
  • DO NOT copy and paste - reduce/summarize and type it all yourself
  • Share with me as “lastname-midterm"
  • Include major periods, artists, styles and works
  • You do not have to include pictures - should concentrate on text
  • The more you include, the better you’ll do on the exam

English II
Your exam will include everything we have studied this term, including the Anglo-Saxon Period, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. Your complete study guide is online. You may copy/paste into a new document and insert your notes, or use it as the basis for your note cards. Either way, you need to start studying ASAP.

English IV
Your exam will be in two parts: a 50-term vocabulary test, and an argument essay. I have provided you with both the terms and the potential prompts, three of which will appear on the midterm. If you prepare for four of the six prompts, then you are assured to see one on the exam.

Seniors ~ Three (Small) Writing Assignments

As you work on your memory books this week and next, you should also be working on the end-of-year writing assignments.  I've given you a handout (if you were on class): A letter to your future self -- imagine yourself four years from now...where will you be, and what will you be doing?  Is it what you planned?  What do you hope to remember about NOW?  What's important?  Address your future self in a letter (standard form), and enclose it in a self-address envelope.  I won't read it, but I do need to know you've done it, so don't seal it. A reflective paragraph that will serve as the introduction to your memory book.  What is your overall impression of your high school years?  What do you want to remember most? Finally, write a poem about your senior class.  The form and tone of the poem is up to you: funny, serious or sad; rhyming couplets, ballad, or free verse.  However you write it, though, please take it seriously.  A copy of this poem should go in your memory ...

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
