Today, you wrote a unit comprehension exam in which you had to demonstrate process of elimination and active reading. The test consists of two short poems and a two page short story as well as 23 multiple choice questions. The exam is created to be written in 45 minutes.
Students are then to read Section 1 and 2 of the novel Oryx and Crake (up to page 40).
I will also hand out jot note questions to be answered during the reading (which should take 45 minutes). This is to be completed for tomorrow's class. These questions cover the whole novel; those who read ahead can get this done as they proceed. Keep in mind that the novel should take 7 to 9 hours to read (based on Grade nine reading abilities), to pace yourself accordingly.
In addition, I will also hand out a sheet on the characters and objects referred to (it will be helpful).
If you are not here, I am assuming you have the novel and can read the pages.
