6th Period Test/4th Period Short In-Class Write

BRING YOUR GRAY BOOK.  IT COSTS NEARLY $70!  NO DIPLOMA/NO TRANSCRIPT IF YOU HAVE A FINE!

The Final Exam
Scantron only (multiple choice, matching, a few T/F:  there will be some quotations, but they should be self-evident if you know the plots/characters). Counts as 10 percent of the semester grade.

Texts:  1984 and Frankenstein

Studying for 1984: 
Review some online sources (SparksNotes, Wikipedia, Pink Monkey) just as a refresher.  I do realize that you do not have your books anymore.  But you should have the three sets of questions (though you were not required to do them).  If you answered them, however, that's a built-in review sheet. If you didn't, they could be sort of a partial guide for what you review online.

Studying for Frankenstein:
1) Make sure that you have read the ending very carefully. It does NOT end when the Creature leaves and is last seen on the ice floe headed off into the darkness.  Pay attention to the rest of Robert Walton's letter to his sister.  Remember, it's a frame story for a reason.

2) Review the questions I handed out early on--some of them are too complex for a scantron test, but there is always material that could be extracted.  Nothing on the sheets should strike you as completely unfamiliar, and there should be LOTS of material that you could discuss easily and fully without consulting the book.

3) If you did badly on the recent quizzes (3 of them), hopefully you listened well as we went over them in class. If you hadn't read then but you have now, you're probably fine.  But if you HAD read the book and still did poorly, try to reread the sections that seem most troubling to you.

That's all I can say--"review sheets" for senior-level novels really aren't practical.
