3. Using butcher-board paper, connect the dots, so to speak. Using all the novels, speeches, short stories, and poems that we have read this semester, connect them to the essential questions that you will have to write about on the exam as well as to anything else they have in common. Do this in groups of three or four. Feel free to illustrate as you review and draw lines to connect the text names. We will continue to work on this on Monday (Dead Day) and will also discuss other items on your review sheet.
TOMORROW IS ACT DAY FOR SOME OF YOU! Good luck!!!!!
