9p - Calendar UPDATE and TEST

I decided that on Tuesday, Oct 13th we will have our LAST quiz.  This will give you more time to catch up for the in-class test this Friday.  I assigned this test at the beginning of the month.

The test this Friday will be OPEN BOOK, meaning you can use your book (but not your notes) to answer the questions.

There will be 20 multiple choice questions and two Short Answer questions.  The test is worth 100pts.

MC questions = 60 points

Short Answer = 40 points, graded on a scale of A = 40, B = 30, C = 20, D = 10, F = 0

To prepare for the multiple choice, you will need to focus on the following:

-Descriptions of each Character in the story

-How George takes care of Lennie

-Why George takes care of Lennie

-The plot points of each night's reading

 (study your journals!)

-The hardships that Ranch Workers face

-Questions from your study guide

To prepare for the Short Answer questions, you'll need to understand:

-Pecking order

-Euthanasia and Moral Dilemmas
