Tomorrow: Short Stories Unit Exam

Went over the rules and what you can expect for the English 10 Provincial Exam which is at 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM on Thursday, June 23rd in the Large Gym unless you’re writing in an alternate setting. You will need a pencil, eraser and a pen. Bring water and kleenex if you’re sniffly. You are required to be there for at least an hour after the exam starts. Do not be late: you will not be allowed to write if you are later than 30 minutes.

Past provincials exams are available online through a link from my website. You have also been given a list of terms and definitions that you need to know.

Be ready for your Unit Exam on short stories tomorrow. It is on all 8 short stories that we have read. You will need to know the short story elements and terms along with the characters and general plot of the stories. The unit exam will include quotations from the stories and you will need to explain the significance of the quotation.
