Spring+Midterm+2012

Dear Pennell Students:

This midterm review is excellent practice for your midterm tomorrow. It comes courtesy of Ms. Fowler! Please thank her if you see her in the hall. Remember, your review session is at 6:45 am in computer lab B4.

Give this a try. If you feel as though you are struggling to answer the questions, then you know you have more studying to do. Here is the file:



The other document that seems to really help students out is as follows:



This document has all of the time periods, authors, most of the literary terms, and explanations of modes of writing that you will need to review for your midterm tomorrow. The grammar is under the GHSG tab.

One last note! MLA formatting for a book is as follows:

**Book: Basic Format**
The author’s name or a book with a single author's name appears in last name, first name format. The basic form for a book citation is: Lastname, Firstname. //Title of Book//. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.

**Periodical: Basic Format**
Cite by listing the article's author, putting the title of the article in quotations marks, and italicizing the periodical title. Follow with the date of publication. Remember to abbreviate the month. The basic format is as follows:

Author(s). "Title of Article." //Title of Periodical// Day Month Year: pages. Medium of publication. Poniewozik, James. "TV Makes a Too-Close Call." //Time// 20 Nov. 2000: 70-71. Print.

**Electronic Source: Basic Format**
//For instructors or editors who still wish to require the use of URLs//, MLA suggests that the URL appear in angle brackets after the date of access. Break URLs only after slashes.

Aristotle. //Poetics//. Trans. S. H. Butcher. //The Internet Classics Archive//. Web Atomic and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 13 Sept. 2007. Web. 4 Nov. 2008.‹http://classics.mit.edu/›.

I hope this helps you out. Here is our lab schedule for tomorrow's midterm:

First Period: B4 -- tomorrow morning's review will be held here!! Second Period: C28 Third Period: A25 Fourth Period: A25 Seventh Period: B7

Study hard. Come early with your questions.

Sincerely, Ms. Pennell
