Koolteecha's Virtual Classroom

Ok, your big test over short story analysis is Thursday!  As of today in class, you should have in your possession copies of each of the SIX short stories that will be covered on the test.  This will be incredibly helpful as I will let you use them while you’re taking the test.

Some questions will be directly text-based, which means you’ll be able to find the answers in the story itself, and others will be more analytical.  You’ll be asked to identify literary elements and figurative devices.  Check your notes!

All right now, folks…Open wide, ’cause I’m fixin’ to spoon feed ya’.  Here’s EVERYTHING (ok, seriously not everything…brains ARE a must) YOU NEED (but should already have) to be successful on the test:
