75% of common assessment (exam) is over the writing you will complete by answering 5 of 10 essay prompts covering literary works we have studied during semester one. It is expected that your answers will be at least half a page to 3/4 of a page minimum with detailed examples to support your answer. Complete sentences and paragraph structure are necessary. Students reviewed essay prompts and began taking notes on Friday 1.20; all notes were collected and will be reissued on day of exam. Students should continue to study and prepare on their own, bringing their organized thoughts (IN HEAD) with them on exam day.
