MC Passage 3 & Diana

For all classes, we completed the class multiple choice. While this did take more time than an individual timed passage, we reviewed important strategies and skills to assist you in completing multiple choice questions. For instance, we previewed questions by identifying key words, phrases, and line numbers. We then moved onto close reading -- the notice of patterns, strategies, and other components the author is communication. Last, we used process of elimination to have a better chance at answering the questions.

For passage 3, we identified bing and time-eater questions. While you will not have time on the actual test to identify that this one is a quick question and this one takes time consideration, you should still answer the easier questions first. Often, these questions will help you understand later questions and give you the opportunity to get to know the passage.

The Wuthering Heights prompt was handed back to you. At this stage of rhetorical analysis, if you are still having difficulty with structure or mechanics, you are more than welcome to set up a tutoring session or q&a session to assist you in improving your writing and alleviate any distractions.

To review rhetorical analysis -- you know a prompt will be coming soon -- we read/watched two speeches given to honor Princess Diana's death on August 31, 1997. In partnerships, you completed a chart utilizing rhetorical strategies, which you will finish quickly at the beginning of the next class session.

The British monarchy has a section dedicated to Diana on its website. This link will take you to the opening page. If you look in the left column, you will find more categories detailing Diana's life and legacy. http://www.royal.gov.uk/HistoryoftheMonarchy/The%20House%20of%20Windsor%20from%201952/DianaPrincessofWales/Background.aspx

And, if you are of a fashion mindset, here is a link to her style. I was fortunate to visit the Queen Mary's Diana exhibit last year and see her gowns (and Kate Middleton's) in person. http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/princess-dianas-most-iconic-style-moments
