Focus: In terms of preparing for the test, what do I need to focus on this semester?

1. Warming up by meeting Academic Vocabulary, Unit 2!

2. Discussing "An Echo Sonnet: To an Empty Page" as a class

• What's the author trying to do? (Theme, tone)

• How's the author trying to do it? (Literary devices)

3. Exploring the rubric and two sample essays to reflect on your own writing

4. Revisiting the final section of the Multiple Choice part of the midterm

• Untangling complex sentences

• Paraphrasing quatrain by quatrain

• BONUS: Scan the heck out of this thing. Two lines have an extra syllable. Look at the line that follow these. What might the purpose of the extra syllable be?
