Your midterm will consist of the following:

Cumulative Vocab units 1-5 (25 points)
Grammar (20 points)
Literary Elements (30 points)
PEE paragraph (25 points)

PEE Paragraph—see separate document in annoucements or Canvas with your options and grading rubric

Vocab—any word definition or fill in the blank units 1-5 (same format at your tests)

Literary Elements—I will give you an example or definition, and you will match to a literary element of “none of the above”

The following are literary elements that may be on the midterm-- there are two documents in Canvas 2017 Midterm Module that provide you with definitions and some examples (along with other literary elements that you don't need to worry about right now--scroll through to find the definitions you need). Remember there is also the Kahoot game (login information-- ginabessetti is username, sept191980 is password)

Know definitions and be able to recognize examples for the following literary elements:

Simile
Metaphor
Allusion
Personification
Synecdoche
Onomatopoeia
Antithesis
Pun

Grammar—one section is directly pulled from your first grammar test (10 questions), and these may have multiple correct answers. This is the ONLY section that may have more than one correct answer, and it is clearly marked on the test.

The other grammar section is a written paragraph with words underlined. You will give me a part of speech for the underlined word.
