Vocabulary Exam Part III Postponed

Hi kidlets,
Apparently even teachers lie sometimes.  :-)  Remember when I told you that no matter what, the vocab exam was happening on Thursday, April 14th?  I forgot that science OAKS is taking place that day as well.  I want you to focus your energy and efforts on OAKS tomorrow, and your vocabulary exam will be rescheduled for Monday, April 18th.  You have a few extra days to study, and I expect you to use them wisely. 

Enjoy the brief reprieve!

Study Outline for Hunger Games Part II Exam

The exam will be on Wednesday.  Tomorrow we will review together as a class (Jeopardy, anyone?) and Tuesday you will have time to fill in the holes in your packets.  THIS DOES NOT REPLACE STUDYING AT HOME.  Sorry about the caps, but I need to emphasize my point.  ;-)
Areas of focus:
Character motivation, specifically Peeta. 
Theme: How are the themes of humanity, trust, survival, and inhumanity represented in part two?
Symbolism: Understand the symbolism for all the symbols from Rue on down in your packet.
Injuries and Illnesses: Katniss and Peeta in part two
Muttations described in part two

The exam is short answer and short essay, no multiple choice.  This test will not be taken on clickers.
Happy studying!
