Prepare for the Lord of the Flies Reading Test:
Although some of you may have already completed this, as the novel was provided three weeks before the break, ensure you have finished reading Lord of the Flies. Use the provided questions and jot notes section in the package to help prepare for the reading test.Review Speeches and Rhetorical Devices:
Use the speeches handout to review devices discussed during our lessons on speeches, including rhetorical questions, anaphora, and various appeals (ethos, logos, pathos, etc.).Upcoming Retest on Literary Devices:
A literary devices retest will take place on Tuesday upon your return. Review all terms, including but not limited to those from our lessons on Caesar (Freytag's Pyramid, tragic hero, turning point, hamartia, tragic flaw, hubris, etc.) and lessons on speeches (rhetorical devices, appeals, etc.). Be sure to also review the wider literary devices handout provided at the beginning of the year. The last test results could have been much better.
