You will have access to a dictionary for this test, and I highly recommend that you use one. Remember,
there is a difference between knowing what a word means and being able to use your context clues to
figure out how that word is being used in the passage. Use a dictionary whenever you can to aid you in
finding word meanings!
You also need to re-read and review “The Lost Boys” on page 592 of your textbook.

There will also be a five comprehension questions from “The Lost Boys,” so make sure you review the article!
There is a glossary and index in the back of your textbook. You can find page numbers, references, and
multiple examples of everything you see on this review sheet. Your notes and assignments from class these
past two weeks will also be very useful to your studying.
Good luck! 
