10th Grade Midterm Study Guides

Wonderful 10th Grade!
It's that time of year again! Seasons are changing, leaves are turning color, and the weather is becoming cooler..... all, of course, foreshadowing one important event at Handong International School........ Miss Jones's English Literature Midterm Exam! Isn't it just like Christmas? Doesn't it just make you want to sing and shout for joy?

Your midterm will be on Friday, October 10th-- 12 days before the second most important day of all time.

I have posted your Midterm Study Guides below in the comments section of this post. I also have hard copies of the guides in my room-- you can get them from me on Monday.

10A-- your exam will consist of three passage analyses.

10B-- your exam will consist of a literary terms section-- don't be lazy on this part-- it will be harder than you expect-- and two passage analyses.

I love you and hope you use your free Friday in a way that benefits you the most.

Also, call me if you have any questions.
