Test over the short story unit is tomorrow! (2 journal entries are also due)
The test is 20 multiple choice/matching questions over the literary terms and plot mountain. A few fill-in-the-blanks. Then you will read a 3 page story and fill out a story chart over that short story (identifying exposition, climax, point of view, etc.) Here are some flashcards through CardKiwi that you may use to study! (Email me if these don't work for some reason...)

Explain, citing details from the story. Here is a copy of the reading strategies PowerPoint we discussed in class. You will need to know the definitions of these strategies as well as what they look like "in use" on this unit test and the final. We will be practicing these strategies throughout our short story unit (and the rest of the year!) I am so excited to have you in class this year! Here is a copy of the class syllabus and a copy of the parent letter.
