Co-Constructing Our Exam




Procedure
Housekeeping - Are there any questions or concerns about upcoming assignments.
Remember: Your multi-genre project is due Dec. 9th and there will be a unit test (meaning since Mr. Johnson has been teaching) on Friday.
There is a list of multi-genre projects on the class blog. Your project must be approved by Mr. Johnson on Wed. December 4th.


We will finish co-constructing the exam for friday. We will form groups then come together as a class. We will discuss what is ON THE TEST:
  • vocabulary
  • rubric
  • select short passages/reviews
  • modernist themes (including short stories:Hemingway, Eliot, Faulkner)
Mr. Johnson loves literature circles and we will discuss the novel with a question and answer segment and seminar style lecture.
    • We will read Richard Wright’s review in class
    • Do you agree with Wright’s review of Hurston’s work?


H.W.  Study for the exam and begin your 2-page essay. Research Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. How does this relate to Janie. Be prepared for a 5pt quiz on Maslow. Study the chart and be able to tell me Maslow’s first name.
