Last Test Review for Setting, Point of View and Theme Test

Monday 17 November 2014 for Periods 2, 5, & 6 and Tuesday 18 November 2014

Students completed their T-charts about the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013). Each student's T-chart needs to list a minimum of five strengths of the film/aspects the student likes about the film and five weaknesses of the film/aspects of the film the student dislikes. Students highlighted in purple the heading of the column that they were choosing to argue and highlighted in blue four supporting points in that they had written in that column. They highlighted one point from the opposing column in blue that they were to label "concession."

Students took a mock test of the point-of-view portion of their up-coming test. Mr. Stone went over the correct answers and modeled the analysis he did to determine the correct answers.

Mr. Stone briefly reviewed the topics and format of the up-coming test. He emphasized the importance of preparing for the function of setting and theme portions of the test by practicing writing out their paragraph responses before the test. He modeled a response for each.

Homework: Finish studying for the test.
