Monday, November 28, 2016 We will go through your binders together and look for notes on the readings and the other topics including literary terms and figurative language, elements of speeches and essays, and Gothic literature. Highlight information appropriately to help you during the exam. Advice: You will not have extra time during the exam and should use your notes only when you are unsure of an answer. Don’t waste time by underestimating what you know. When I studied for exams, I usually wrote a summary of each of the reading selections (on a notecard) for review.
