Exam contents and poetry handout

Dear all,

Here you have the PPT we saw last class: poetry.ppt

Contents for our next exam:

• Narrative writing (plot,characters, setting, theme and moral)
• Punctuation (emphasis on comma use)
  
• Poetry writing (recognizing elements of poetry and kinds of poetry)
  
• Vocabulary (from the handout and the weekly reading)
  
• Content (from the handout and the weekly reading)
• The process of writing (what we do: prewriting, drafting, etc.)

Good luck to all!

Freshers week: fewer classes.

Hi all,

I'm posting this as a sort of sumary of the things we've done, so be all get ready for our next test.

The deadline for Short stories updates was, as everyone knew since long before, last Friday. Therefore, I am not receiving any late texts, for any reasons.

The date fixed with parallel A was Wednesday 13th, and for parallel B, Friday 15 (except those who are talking the oral part of the exam with professor Trillo, unless volunteer). If anybody has a problem with the date, of any kind (a clash with another class, another test, etc.), he or she is expected to arrange it before, so I can give you another day and time.

The contents of the exam will be published here and in the SIGA.
(use of commas, short story writing, poetry, vocabulary, the weekly reading, etc.)

Here you have some good sites to practice your knowledge and skills.

Try them!
