Reminder: Essay #2 deadline and mid-term test this Wednesday

Don't forget to bring your rough and final drafts of Essay #2 to class this Wednesday. I'd prefer to have both drafts stapled together.

I will give the mid-term test in the final hour of class. Here are a few of the terms and concepts you should be sure to know:

1. Grammar and usage concepts including proper use of commas and knowing how to avoid comma splices, fragments, misplaced modifiers and agreement problems.

2. The difference between active voice and passive voice.

3. Text, context and subtext.

4. Topic and thesis.

5. Irony, satire, understatement, hyperbole and non sequitir.

... and everything else we've discussed in class.
