I assume the readership here is down to about -3, but just in case some of you smarties are still reading, I thought I would "bug" you with this final information for the final exam.
I found some great videos on Youtube that bascially walk you through the 2008 exam, which you can get here: http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/search/grade12/english/sample/exam/0809en_p.pdf. The link to the first video is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4R9Hn3TmXs. This is for the Multiple Choice. Then there are three more videos for the paragraph and the essay. If you expand the information about the video, there is a link to documents / self-paced questions that accompany the video.
Anyway, don't forget that for the writing about the texts, you should give lots of supporting detail from the texts. Also, in that section of the exam, try to write more formally. For the composition section, you should be able to write a personal essay or more formal essay, whichever you choose. Keep in mind the composition does not have to be five paragraphs, but you should have a clear introduction and conclusion. Finally, if I were you, I would review the terms sheet Ms. Mountain handed out for the English 12 Exam. Do you know what a parable is? A euphemism? A paradox? Probably worth some studying. All the best - I have been napping today - trying to recover from marking mania! Now back to work on my "book"! I have to answer more questions about stories and poems, and then I have been hired to work on a grammar book next year! Does the excitement never end?
Writing about commas ... bring it on!
Bonne chance, good luck, and ciao!
