What persuasive techniques did they use. Slide21Slide22
PoetrySlide23
POEM: Here is my suggested plan of attack:
- Read the poem through
several times
. Stop and think to clarify confusing parts.- Pay attention to the title, any subtitles, stanza breaks and shifts in the poem. Read the questions and then re-read the text as needed. Only annotate a section of the text if it helps you make sense of it and/or if it helps you answer a question. No “points” awarded for annotating.
Annotation is now a tool not a skill! Slide24
Multiple Choice Rule of Thumb
Eliminate
First!! Which answers are the most unreasonable?
Look for Diction? Which answers contain specific terms from the reading. Look up unfamiliar terms (don’t eliminate something that you’re not entirely sure of!!)This was a problem with one question in particular last semester. People avoided the best answer because they didn’t bother double checking the meaning of a word.
It is only the BEST ANSWER that they are looking for and not all possible answers. What makes sense in the big picture. - Avoid the answers that you feel you would have to explain to me for 5 minutesSlide25
Reading ResponseSlide26Slide27
Old Topic for Reading Response
It has been said that written texts often reflect human
strength
and human weakness.Read topic carefully.Use the vocab from the topic in your answer (strength and weakness)Choose 2 texts from the exam to write about. If you choose more you will run out of time.
If you choose 1 then you will be repetitive and surprisingly unfocused. Use quotes- Specifics about the texts will keep you focused and support your ideas. Slide28
