Tomorrow is your English benchmark. It is a skills based assessment, which means you won’t find questions specifically about any of the texts that we have read, but rather, questions on the skills you learned in relation to the texts. Here are the terms you need to make sure you understand before you get your benchmark tomorrow:
Author’s purpose
Inference
Reading comprehension
Context Clues/Vocabulary (Like our bellringers)
Narrative Essay—short piece of writing that is about a person or event and it is true
Frame Story
Connotation/Denotation
Antithesis
Parallelism
Allusion
Personification
Simile/Metaphor
Imagery
Conflict
