Midterm Examination

A Reminder: Your Midterm Examination will be administered on Tuesday, 19 January, as designated by the AP of the Humanities Department. If you are absent, you must make-up the test by the end of the day on Friday, 22 January.

Since I will be conducting tutoring for the English Regents on Friday afternoon, you may take it at that time. (If you have lunch D-Band, you may take it in Room 404-there is not too much room at that time since the class is full-so I may not have room for too many students to make-up the test.)

Recall the format-A poem and a narrative passage with a similar controlling idea.
You will be asked to respond to a "prompt" in an essay format. This is not "new" for anyone. You did this in eighth-grade. It is graded using the same rubric that is used on the English Regents (I encourage you to refer to it while writing your essay.)
