8/24/2015

Performance by most students on the literary terms part of the first quiz was less than stellar. (I'm using the literary technique of "understatement" here.). The understanding of literary terms and their proper applications is integral to this course. You should review the following PowerPoint because:

    1. I reserve the right to quiz you on this material at any time
    2. Many of the essay prompts for your upcoming in-class essays refer to these terms.
    3. It's difficult to talk about literature without knowing the basic vocabulary of literature.
