Today, I discussed the final with the students and informed them of what is still left to accomplish before the end of the term (Hamlet; short story/poetry comprehension; independent novel study assignment).
The final will consist of at least three readings (a draft, a poem and a short story). Students will be expected to be able to apply conventions to these, as well as literary devices and demonstrate comprehension skills. In addition to these readings, students will be creating two written responses: a full essay on one source and another essay utilizing three sources. We will be discussing these as we progress through this period before the holidays.
Today, students were given a draft reading with questions to complete. I then spoke to each student individually about their progress. If you were not here, this activity is in your portfolio.
