Throughout the first quarter and half way through the second, we have learned a good bit of information. This information is in units which are summer reading, literacy narratives (+ traits of writing, writing process), short stories + literary elements, literary analysis, and Lord of the Flies. All of the information we went over are in some form of notes or in a book of some sort. I understand and remember much of what we have learned, but there is always a need for improvement. Of course, for the midterm, I will study all these units intensely. Especially our unit of literacy narrative! I understand it, but there are things that throw me off. Also, the short stories is another unit I will be going over quite a lot. When we read about fifteen stories, you can't remember everything. Especially when you have to take annotations into consideration. I would really like to go over the different short stories and have a brief explanation of them in class. Also, I know we will, hopefully, go over literacy analysis again, especially since we haven't finished our essay. Those are some things to think about for midterm preparation.

You have some great things to go over in class that I did not think of. I hope we con go over everything before exams, because it will really help.
