We are coming to the end of our first unit on the Elements of Fiction. This week kids are preparing for their test which will span Thursday and Friday. Here are some specifics:
SL: Students will be tested on the story "God Sees The Truth But Waits" by Leo Tolstoy.
They will then take a test which will cover all elements of fiction in the story. They have read the story this week and have already had time to practice identifying the elements. Part of their test will be writing a theme paragraph, which we have also practiced this week in class.
HL: Students will be tested on the story "The Garden Party" by Katherine Mansfield.
Students are filling out a literary elements chart in class this week, after they read the story. This will be part of their test, and can be worked on at home. It will be due Thursday. Thursday and Friday during class they will be going to the lab to write an essay for the final portion of their test. This essay will ask that they compare an element in two stories, one of which will be "The Garden Party".
Home Work:
