Study Guide Final

Rule 1: Keep calm and study on.

Don't sweat the final; as long as you review your grammar notes and pay close attention in class next week as we review, you'll be okay. :)

There will be three parts to your final:

Part I
You will be given a short story to read. After reading the story you will be asked to identify the literary elements.
- Theme (be prepared to explain your choice)
- Conflict (be prepared to explain your choice)
- Identifying Characters (protagonist, antagonist, static, dynamic)
- Setting
- Plot (summarize with our 5-point plot method)

Part II
You will be asked to identify certain parts of a sentence. Be ready to identify:
- Complete subjects
- Complete predicates
- Prepositions
- Pronouns
- Conjunctions
- Adjectives
- Adverbs
- Action verbs and direct objects (together)
- Helping and linking verbs
- Independent and dependent clauses

Part III
You will need to rewrite several sentences correctly. Some of the sentences will include capitalization mistakes. Others will be run-on sentences and you will need to show your knowledge of comma use. You will need to rewrite a few sentences using the singular or plural possessive forms, and you will be required for some sentences to fill-in-the-blank with a verb in the correct tense.

*The best way to study for your final is to review the past 3 Grammar quizzes you've had. The questions will be verrrrrry similar.*
