Informaiton about the Spring Semester Final

I just finished writing your final.  You will have a packet of poems to refer to during the test.  The entire test is multiple choice, ranging from 3-5 possible answer choices per question.  The test includes:
  • 5 questions in which you need to identify the vocabulary word that isn't like the others.
  • 7 questions in which you need to identify which pair of vocabulary words does not have the same kind of relationship (synonym or antonym) as the other pairs of words.
  • 13 questions in which you must read a short passage including vocabulary words and then answer questions about the passage.  
  • (In total, I think I managed to include all but 9 of our vocabulary words from the semester)
  • 10 questions base don the poetry vocabulary from the scavenger hunt, in which you must match the term with its definition.
  • 42 questions which require you to interpret the poems.
  • 5 questions based on the notes we took on his life and the literary movements during which he lived.
There is a grand total of 82 questions.  The total number of questions on the poems might change a bit between now and the final, as some groups have not yet presented/ shared their sites with the class, and I don't intend to hold you accountable for knowing those poems unless they do one or the other of those things.

Happy studying :)
