Today, we continued examining the comma rules (rules 3 and 4).
You will have a reading comprehension exam on Wednesday. To prepare for it, be sure you understand the steps to reading actively (omit page numbers for paragraphs and the three sentence summary at the end but highlight relevant 5ws, changes in direction, unknown words and paraphrase in one or two words each paragraph or dialogue/idea stream).
I then discussed what is meant by process of elimination (how to approach a multiple choice exam by eliminating the throwaways, and then circling the one of the remaining two that you think is the right answer). I also discussed the importance of actively reading the questions in a test.
Finally, I gave you a list of words from the actual exam that you should define and familiarize yourself with. While you do get a dictionary, you don't want to have to waste too much time. The more you know the better.
