If you want, you can start the exam at 8 a.m. tomorrow. As some of you will, those who are not writing need to come in quietly with their pens, pencils, highlighters, Fit to Print text, dictionary, thesaurus and reading book (for after) already out of their binders and on their person so they won't disturb those who are writing already. Also, remember to put you phones in the day care so you will meet the standards set by Alberta Learning.
I am pasting the sheet you received in class here for those who were absent:
Below is a list of previously used essay topics. I will use one of these for your exam tomorrow. I want you to look at them, highlight the topic words, see if any of these are really the same question just worded a bit differently. Try to create attention getters for them. Try to create a thesis from them that can be specifically proven using evidence from one of the short stories you have used this term (as a class, write down the ones we have read or studied on the board so everyone will know). This is a five paragraph, formal essay without the personal. Look over your notes on how to write the paragraph and essay.
