Hi Kids,
Today your received the review packet for the open-note test on literary terms and short stories. Again, there are three parts to the test:
Part 1: Matching terms to definitions.
Part 2: Matching terms to quotes from the short stories.
Part 3: Short response and plot diagram. You will need to draw the plot diagram for one or two stories (depending on what challenge-level you are), AND you will need to be able to describe the theme, and central conflict for them, and defend your responses.
I will open this blog for you to post responses and questions. If you have questions, please post them, and I will be able to answer them later tonight.
Mr. Stowell can we use all the notes we have taken
ReplyDeleteWhats a quote that shows symbolism in the cask of amontillado?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the primary conflict and type of the Last Rung on the Ladder?
ReplyDeleteWhere are the links for last rung on the ladder, the cask of amontillado, the dinner party and the somebody.
ReplyDeleteDoes "My God" from Harrison Bergeron count as an allusion?
ReplyDeleteTo answer the questions so far:
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use any note that is hand-written.
If you're looking for a Cask quote on symbolism, look anything that mentions how either one is dressed, or look for the "De Grave" wine, or even Fortunato's name.
The primary conflict in LRotL is a person vs. person conflict between Kitty and Larry.
There is, at this time, only a link to Cask....look below....the other three have no links that I can find.
And "My God" is not an allusion...but there is a reference to Harrison looking like a Thor, the god of thunder....that is an allusion....and a simile as well!
What would be an allusion in "The Case of Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
ReplyDeleteAre we going to have to write the quotes, or are you going to have them already written, and we'll just need to match them?
ReplyDeleteIn Blackbirds, practically all the stories are allusions to nursery rhymes.
ReplyDeleteAs for quotes, I will provide them all, and you will have a multiple-choice for which term they represent....I hope it's not too easy!
