NOTE: Since we have not finished Lear yet, I am moving back the due date for your Shakespeare thesis. I do not want you to write your thesis until we have finished the play. Also, since we are reviewing for the exam, I have pushed that thesis due date out until after the exam. It will be due Friday, May 5, two days after the exam. 

Here is a review game that you can play to practice the definitions of literary terms. I have also posted it in the resources page.

Use this link to access the prompts and exemplar essays written by your classmates. 

Read their prompt and give feedback on their example essay. Consider the following questions when making your comments:
1) Was the passage a good one to choose?
2) Did the prompt get at the heart of the passage? Why or why not?
3) Did the exemplar adequately address the prompt? 
4) Is the exemplar truly an example of a level 9 essay? If so, what was so great about it? If not, what could be improved?
