Remember, your Lord of the Flies test is tomorrow!
The format is 80 multiple choice/matching questions, scantrons will be provided as always.
- Remember, it's important to know who said what during the novel (or who is the most likely to say a particular line - whose personality does it sound like?)
- Your study guide questions, if completed, are going to come in handy. Think back to our class discussions. These are vital to your success on this test!
Your Lord of the Flies Portfolio is due next Monday, 04.27.09. If you have any questions, you can respond here or shoot me an email at cphillips@csisd.org.
Finally, I want to get your reaction to the novel. Love it? Hate it? Why? Tell me!
Good luck tomorrow!

Can you persuade me NOT to give you a test? I think not...
Hey Students -
As promised, here's a brief overview of tomorrow's test and what you should probably (and by probably, I mean DEFINITELY) brush up on between now and then.
The test is 70 multiple choice/matching/true-or-false questions (no short answers or essays!).
- fact, opinion, & nonfact
- difference between an appropriate/inappropriate thesis
- logical fallacies
- ability to identify persuasive techniques in print ads
- using excerpts to identify ethos, pathos, & logos
Hopefully, this clears things up. If you need further clarification (other than specific test questions), go ahead and shoot me an email at cphillips@csisd.org.
Good luck.

Ethos, Pathos, & Logos
Hey Students -
Here is the assignment that we've been working on for the past couple of days in class - identifying ethos, pathos, & logos in advertising.
Your Assignment:
- Find a total of three advertisements (one representing ethos, one for logos, & one for pathos)
- Cut the advertisement out and staple it to a sheet of paper
- On the notebook paper, write a FULL (5-8 sentences) paragraph ANALYZING the advertisement. Be sure your paragraph answers the following questions:
- What is the purpose of this ad?
- Who is the intended audience?
- Why might the advertiser have designed the ad the way they did?
- Is the ad effective? Why/why not?
Remember, this is due AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD tomorrow. We'll continue our discussion on logical fallacies - look for them when you're watching TV tonight!
Happy hunting,
Phillips
