Grammar - I will test your grammar knowledge by giving you a short passage with a certain number of grammar mistakes. - You must find the grammar mistakes, label them as what type of mistake they are, and then fix the mistake within the sentence. - The grammar mistakes will be limited to the ones we have studied: conditionals (1st, 2nd and 3rd), run-ons (fanboys/nonfanboys), simple tense verbs, perfect tense verbs,

Things Fall Apart - While I don’t expect you to remember the specifics from the story, I do expect you to have walked away from the book with a few key pieces of information: - What is a tragic hero? How is Okonkwo an example of a tragic hero? - How did the influence of Western society change Okonkwo’s village society? - What was Chinua Achebe’s (the author) reason for writing this story? In your opinion, was he successful?

Elements of a Short Story - You will be given a short story to analyze. - You must be able to tell me the plot, setting, characters, theme - What is the emotional and physical setting? - What is the introduction, rising action, climax, and conclusion? - What type of conflict is it? (Man vs.____________?) - What point of view is it? (1st Person/ 3rd Person: Omniscient, Limited Omniscient or Objective?)

Final Project Reflection - Write a short reflection about your work during your senior year. What would you have liked to have improved, what are you proud of, what did you learn, what do you wish you had learned? - This will be graded for content and grammar.
