English IIIh 1st Quarter Test – Study Guide
Mid-term Exam – Study Guide
Mr. McIlwain – English IIIh – 1/11
- The mid-term exam grade counts as two tests grades, applied to the second quarter only.
- Be familiar with everything we’ve studied, especially literary terms (which are generally listed under the work with which we studied them). The glossary of literary terms (pp. R10-R19 in the back of the book) should be helpful. Use your textbook (Prentice-Hall Literature: The American Experience) as your primary study reference. Look back over the things we’ve read, particularly the introductory material and study questions at the end of the selections. Classwork, notes and papers will also be useful.
- The exam will comprise approximately 100 multiple-choice questions.
