Your exam is in room 243 on the morning of January 27th.  I will be administering your exam. It is worth 10% of your overall mark for semester one.  The duration of the exam is 2 hours. Your exam is as follows: Part I.  Reading Comprehension-a non-fiction article on Auschwitz.  You will have 30 multiple choice questions on the article. Part II.  Writing-you get to choose whether you'd like to write an expository essay or a persuasive essay on one of two topics provided.   You should study the notes we've taken on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas because the article and essay questions are spin-offs from this novel.  You should also review your writing strategies (6+1 traits, persuasive writing, etc.)
