Well, although this is not exactly related to class, I thought I'd post my favourite rendition of "Baby It's Cold Outside" for Pearl. Thanks to her, the song was my "ear worm" all day long...good thing it's such a catchy tune! Colin James is a terrific local musician; I hope you enjoy it. Hear it at this address:

On a more studious note, your exam on Monday will consist of three sections. The first section (worth 25 marks) will be a combination of true/false questions, matching and supplying terms. Review the bolded terms on your blue sheets. The second section will be quotations from each of the five stories where you will be asked to discuss their significance (10 marks). The final section will be two short paragraphs (5 marks each). You will have four questions to choose from. The questions will be related to the larger concepts we have discussed in this unit: theme, conflict, symbol and irony, etc.
On Tuesday, you will be given a story that you have never seen before. You will then be asked some questions relating to the larger concepts we have discussed. There will also be a longer written response section. This will be similar to the diagnostic reading/writing test you wrote at the beginning of the term.
Judging by how well you reviewed in class today, you seem well prepared for Monday and Tuesday.
