Sophomore World Literature Semester Final Exam Study Guide:
• There will be four parts to the exam: a 100 question vocab review of chapters 1-7 (worth 50 points), an objective multiple choice exam on the terms and concepts we have studied this year (worth 30 points), an essay exam (worth 100 points), and prep notes (worth 20 points).
• There are three essay options that you must prepare for - you will be given one at random.
• You are required to come prepared with one sheet of paper that has prep notes for each of the three essay exam possibilities.
• You MAY NOT use notes for the objective portion of the exam or the vocab exam – your notes are for the essay ONLY.
• Here is a list of things to review for multiple choice exam. Refer to your notes, your terminology section, and your assignments to help with this:
o The 10% Solution.
o Types of leads and conclusions we studied.
o All other notes on writing.
o Literary terms and vocabulary
• Here are the essays you might be assigned. Prepare for all three. You should come with one sheet of notes (front and back) that has prep work for all three essays.
1. Examine how all the books we have read are essentially Taoist in nature. Focus on at least three of our texts and cite at least five lines from the Tao as you synthesize your ideas. Be sure to bring in new ideas – it should not be a rehashing of things we have already talked about in class.
2. Examine a common belief shared by at least three major characters in different books we have read and write a 500-word-minimum “This I Believe” essay.
3. Explain what you have learned this semester. Include things about reading and writing as well as things that go beyond the scope of just reading and writing better. Focus on specifics – ideas, actions, beliefs.
