Final Exam Review

I have had some students start to ask for the exam review, so I'm going to go ahead and post it here. You'll get a hard copy of it during class, but I'll go ahead and post it here for those people who want it start it early.

Click here for the final exam review.

This link contains the final exam review ( it's two separate documents - you'll see them in there) and you will also see a scanned copy of all of the vocabulary notes. You can use that to do the vocabulary section of the final exam review.

Gothic Short Story Project

We are currently working on a Gothic Short Story Project.

Click here to download the full set of directions and expectations.

First, you were given the option to work alone or with one other person. Once that decision was made, you then picked a short story for the project. I gave you your own copy of your short story during class. If you need an extra copy of your story, let me know. I have plenty! All all of these stories are fairly classic, so you can find a copy of your story online if you're working and need a copy of your story immediately.

Presentations need to be completed on Google Slides or PowerPoint, and they must be submitted on TurnItIn.com before you present in class.

Introductions and Conclusions

Today, we took Vocabulary Quiz #7, and then we looked at samples of introductions and conclusions.
