ENGLISH 10H - QUIZ AND TEST BEFORE SPRING BREAK

English 10H students,
      Next time, March 28th and 29th, we will be having our Words of the Day Quiz. It will be a harder and more in-depth quiz than normal. You will be quizzed on the 10 AP Language rhetorical terms (anaphora, anadiplosis, epistrophe, apostrophe, alliteration, synecdoche, oxymoron, litotes, zeugma, asyndeton).

This quiz will differ from the previous because you will not be quizzed on the definitions of the words, but your ability to create examples and explain why those examples are good uses of language. You will also have to recognize examples that I create and explain why they are well-written or what they accomplish.

ALSO, depending on what each individual class chooses, we will have the TMU Test on the next 10 word roots on Thursday or Friday as well. It tests students' abilities to match the roots with their definitions, define words in context, create words to fill blanks in sentences, and remember words that the roots are in.

Both of these assessments will be very important to students' grades, so it would behoove them to study well. Thanks.

                -Mr. Durham
