ENG 2D1 Written Exam Info

It will be very much a skills-based rather than a content-based evaluation.The written exam will be worth 15% of the final grade (not 30% as in some other courses). The first question will be a sight passage (a short story) that you have not seen before. This will be a reading comprehension test in which the students will be asked to apply reading skills and knowledge of literary terms (theme, protagonist, setting etc) to an unfamiliar work. Students will also be asked to relate the story to other works covered in the course. The second part of the test will be a literary essay in which the students will be asked to apply their understanding of the works covered in the course (memoirs, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet, the small group novels, the independent study and the "4th R" stories) in essay form. There will not be any specific content memorization questions on the test.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
