Soph Lit:

Today in class you were asked to "survive" using only what you had with you in class, and the random survival guide that I distributed. I had you write about how you would use the guide that you were given to survive.

Next, we looked at the MCAS questions that you answered yesterday. I asked those with an 88 or above to comment on their strategies. We brainstormed on the following:

1. Underline main ideas as you read.
2. Put the question into simpiler language.
3. Cross out the answers that you are sure are wrong.
4. If you have time, go back to any questions that you are not sure of

The questions that you will face fall into a few main catergories- which is important to understand.
You will be asked recall questions that test your comprehension.
You will be asked for context questions
You will be asked questions that will ask you to refer to the story, and devise a logical answer.

Remember to beat your adversisary, you must completly understand them.
