Drop and give me 20, recruits! For each square, find someone in class to provide an EXAMPLE (not the definition!) of each of the terms on both sides of your handout. You may use your commander, General Lane, once, and no person in the class can be used more than twice. Each blank must have a different example. Have the person who provided your example initial in the corner of the box. The objective is to be the first one finished with all squares correct. GO!

EOC Tip: Always be sure to read the caption for each excerpt on the EOC – it can contain valuable information that will help you understand what you’re reading! “War is Kind” Next, let’s practice some poetry analysis. Read the poem “War is Kind” by Stephen Crane and annotate your analysis in the margins. Some things to consider: What stands out to you? What is the author trying to say? What images and language does he use to convey his point?

EOC Tip: Try reading the questions before you read the passage so you’ll know what to keep an eye out for while reading. “War is Kind” Next, take five minutes to answer the multiple choice questions on your handout. Take your time and do your best – these are exactly the type of questions you will see on the EOC.

Let’s go over our answers!
