You can prepare for tomorrow's essay by going to www.nysedregents.org and click on Comprehensive English. Go to Aug 2009 session two exam. Click on Comprehensive English Exam and download. You will need Adobe. Look at Part A. This is exactly the format for the exam on Friday. Scan it to get to know the exam.
Next, go back and click on Scoring Key and Rating Guide for Day two, Part A. Skim through pages 4-40 to see actual papers for the test and their grades from a 6 down to a 1. There are three examples of each grade (6,5,4,3,2,1) and a note box to tell you why it was graded that way.
The rubric is the one we always use which you can look at on page 3.
Feel free to blog on hstathandmaid.blogspot.com with comments and concerns.
Go over your notes on The Handmaid's Tale from chapters 1-22 about the characters and symbols/allusions.

ReplyDeleteI don't think so because it says to prepare for essay.
