Study Tips:
1. Review your notes and make sure you can answer the responding to text questions for each work listed.
-this means understanding what the text is about. (Have a short synopsis in your notes)
2. Make sure you know who the author is—where he is from, who he was, why he is a significant part of
our history.
3. Make sure you have each literary term defined and have an example listed too.
4. Review your notes so you are not completely dependent on them. If you try to look up every answer
and you have too many pages, you may not have time to finish.
5. Make sure your notes are neat and easy to read. Underline, highlight or use pens in multiple colors to
help you easily read and locate information.
6. Hint: if it has been asked on an earlier quiz, it’s fair game!
