Here's what you should know about the Blog...
Dufault and Forsberg meet on Tuesdays after school...so we will probably add things on Tuesdays.
We have decided that you can know the exact format of the test on Friday because you won't know which terms you will be using until then. So, here are the three questions:
Allegory
Allusion
Ambiguity
Analogy
Antithesis
Atmosphere
Clause
Connotation
Denotation
Diction
Euphemism
Figurative language
Genre
Hyperbole
Imagery
Irony/ironic
Metaphor
Mood
Motif
Narrative
Onomatopoeia
Paradox
Parallelism
Parody
Personification
Point of view
Prose
Repetition
Style
Symbol
Syntax
Theme
Thesis
Tone
Directions:
You will be working with three different terms. You will be assigned two and the other one you may select.
Term One (assigned)
Define the term in you own words. Explain it as though you were explaining it to a classmate who doesn’t understand it. Do not use examples as part of your definition.
Term Two (assigned)
Explain how having a clear understanding of this term will help you in AP English 12. Be sure in your explanation that you are illustrated a clear understanding of the term. Think in terms of understanding literature or writing (or both) in your explanation.
Term Three (You will choose a term from a different “box” than term one or term two)
Using an example from a text that you know, illustrate this term. Clearly identify the example and explain in your own words how it illustrates the meaning. Be sure that someone who is unfamiliar with your chosen text will be able to connect your example to the meaning of the term.
The terms are listed above, but the "box formatting" doesn't copy to the blog--each box has five terms in it--they are grouped alphabetically if you want to do that.
