Homework: On Friday, January 19th - period 1 you will have your spelling and definitions test for Stave 5 of A Christmas Carol. You have the words and definitions in your yellow Stave 5 booklet (first page) to study from. Note: Before Friday I will hand back to you all of your Staves so that you can study for your final unit exam for A Christmas Carol. The exam will be on Friday, Jan 19th in period 2.

As this is a reading comprehension exam the best way to study is to go through your Stave booklets and look at the questions. The exam will consist of 25 to 30 questions and one written component. The written component will be explaining three quotes from the play for grade eight and three quotes and also doing a dialogue component.

Language Arts 7/8-1

The words and definitions are on the first page of Stave 5 Reading Comprehension booklet. Study. Your last booklet (Stave 5) will be handed in on Thursday. Also, on Thursday I will return all Staves that were handed in so that you can use them to study from.

Remember! On Friday you will have the unit exam for the play A Christmas Carol. The questions have been taken from your Staves. There will be 25 to 30 multiple choice questions and a written component. For grade seven the written component will be the dialogue (conversation) that I talked to you about in class. For grade eight the written component will be explaining three of the quotes from the play. Best way to study is to go through your reading comprehension booklets and look at the questions - making sure you can answer them.
