Seniors--IB World Literature

January 26 & 27.  

Your final exam will have two parts.

Exam schedule as follows.  
  • For the first part, you will receive a poem you've never seen before.  You will be expected to thoroughly color-mark this poem, identify the two most important techniques, justify why those techniques are important, and generate a clear, viable thesis statement that proposes an analytical argument about the poem.

  • For the second part, you will receive an AP-like mini-test.  You will receive a passage from The Handmaid's Tale and 10-15 multiple choice questions on that passage.  These questions will mimic AP-style multiple choice questions on a prose passage.
