Unit 1 Test Review

 This is for the benefit of group 2, since I didn't get a chance to talk to them.... But group 1, you can refresh what I said to you as well. :)

The test covers The Canterbury Tales, archetypes, allusions, Hamlet, and The Alchemist.

You need to look back over The Canterbury Tales since it has been so long. I am not asking you specific questions about specific characters or anything, but you probably need to skim back over it. You have 3 short answer questions from this work and all three are really easy if you just look back over notes and the works.

There are two lit terms that aren't terms we quizzed over, but terms we have discussed in relation to the works. Again, check your notes.

Remember the archetypes packet? Look over it for sure. There are two questions from it.

Remember the handout of notes I gave you for Hamlet? It had the historical context, Renaissance Literature, and the roots of Hamlet? LOOK AT IT. There are two questions from it.

The Hamlet question is EASY and you all were with me the whole time and will be FINE.

There is one question over The Alchemist. It is in regard to symbols.

There is one question about the "Classics" sheet from the beginning of the year, day 2. Look at it.

There are 5 multiple choice questions based on a passage. You can't really prepare in advance for them.

There are three lit terms definitions PROBABLY. I need to make sure we have covered them since I reversed the order this year.

There are four allusions. Remember how I said you were on your own for the allusions? There are four on here, one Biblical, one literary, one mythological, and one historical. They aren't obscure. But look over it for sure.

Last of all, there will be a quick short answer essay involving the essential questions.
