About Test II

Good Day,

Just a brief note to let you know about the general structure of Test II.

The test will be divided in 4 parts. In part 1, you will have either a matching exercise or a multiple choice exercise so you can show your knowledge about literary terms. I hope you have followed my advice and studied the terms that we provided last term. Remember that acquaintance of those terms is necessary for our sessions on prose and poetry, therefore this is not something new or unexpected to you.
In part 2, just like in our previous test, a number of questions (no more than 3, I expect) will be stated so you provide an analytical, well supported answer, based on what we have discussed in our meetings.
In part 3 you will read some extracts from the texts that have been either discussed in class or that are part of the syllabus in unit 4. The purpose is that you provide information regarding those extracts such as author's name, title of the text, and some elements of those texts which we definitely discussed during our classes.
Finally in part 4, what you like the most: a literary work (which can be either a poem or a short story) will be provided so you can provide a succinct though well supported analysis of that text.
Hope you find this information useful. See you tomorrow.
