Lindenwood Students: Review for Literature Final

Test Review

1. Be able to explain the elements of short fiction in detail. Review the pages in our Literature book and include as many examples as possible.

2. Be able to extensively explain three ways poets construct their poems. (Information is in the chapter on a poet's means) Give examples. Rhyme, imagery, personification, alliteration, assonance, metaphor, similes, apostrophe...

3. Know the elements of drama and how drama differs from short fiction and poetry. Dialogue and Staging are the two principle differences - but how does the experience differ between reading a story and seeing a play?

All papers must be turned in the last class unless you have an approved incomplete. Bring a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want your papers back after class concludes. Put your address as the return address on the envelope.

Research Paper and Assignments Due Tonight Plus Test on Research Writing

Your Major Assignments Handout has instructions for turning in the Research Paper and Research Project Assignments (I'd prefer the copies I made comments on).

Be sure to submit your paper to Turnitin.com before class and print everything before you get here!

We will take the test first, then start our discussion of Literature. Be sure to bring the book, Literature and Its Writers and you may want to check out its companion website for further resources.
