Final Assignments

You may have one more grammar quiz: topic and date to be decided, if we have time for it.

You have these readings to complete:

- Nelson 7, unit 16, by Wednesday, 5/21

You will have one more book/novel review:
- Wednesday, June 04
- follow the same instructions as last time

You will have a unit project for 'Unit 4- Persuasion, Reportage and Propaganda':
- Wednesday, June 11
- more details will follow, but it will be a multi-part project on a single theme
- the theme will be a social or political cause that you agree with
- you will have a partner
- you will only cooperate with your partner for the a/v portion, a commercial or media message
- you will each write your own portion, an editorial or persuasive essay, 'letter to the editor' or to a politician/corporation, or a piece of reporting

You will have an exam.
- since I did not make you take many notes, the best way to prepare for this is to read over this website from the beginning, but especially from the beginning of the poetry unit in January
- the blog archive is at the bottom of this page
- you should review all grammar, especially your weakest points (passives and conditionals!) as there will be a grammar section on the exam
- apart from grammar, you will only be tested on the two units, poetry and persuasion
- you should review the types and techniques of poetry we studied as you will have to identify them on the exam
- review all the aspects and techniques of persuasion we covered as you will have to write a persuasive composition on the exam
