Soph Lit:

Today in class:

We wrapped up our MCAS review and I collected your completed MCAS review pack.

I passed out our next novel, Lord of the Flies.

I introduced the novel and recorded book numbers.

I asked you to list 10 things that you would bring with you if stranded on a island for one year.

Best of luck on MCAS this week. A quick review for tonight:

Get a solid night sleep
Eat well tonight and make sure you have a healthy breakfast- no crummy energy drinks.
Make sure you review the events and character in one book that you have read. It helps if you enjoyed it.
Do not summarize the novel in answering your prompt. Have a clear thesis, and make sure you write a brief outline first to organize how you will answer it. Remember the things we also worked on last week: Clear thesis/topic sentence, good transitional words/phrases, and a conclusion that re-states your thesis. Do not use big words that you are un-sure of. Proof read and correct if time. Follow basic grammar rules: Cap letters for proper nouns, watch for run on sentences, and punctuate correctly.

Most of all: Relax- you are going to do great. Do your best work!
