Prepare for tomorrow's exam!

Tomorrow is our last TKAM exam! I want to emphasize that this is a skills-based exam. That means that I do not expect you to memorize every page of the book. There will be no detailed "gotcha" questions, like: "What color were Dill's shorts the first time they met?"

Instead, you can study the following:

• Know the main characters and how they generally interact with the themes. Scroll down to April 27 for a list of themes and associated notes.
• Know academic and content terms, such as theme, tone, inference, mood, personification, metaphor, (most/except/primarily/prevalent), imagery, evidence, quotes, prejudice, conclusion, context clues, conflict.

Although I'm not asking you to memorize the whole book, you still do need to know the plot. There will be writing, as always. If you are still unsure about any plot points, my favorite book summary website is:

If you click "Summary" on the side, you can then read summaries by chapter. The cold reads on the exam will be from a chapter in Part II that we did not read.

Here is a link to the skills review activity we did today. The correct answers are highlighted.
