EWRT1A-24: midterm

The midterm is Thursday, May 19th. It will be composed of two parts.

• Part 1: grammar, 10 points. There will be ten sentences, like the ones from the grammar handouts. They will exhibit problems in the areas we've gone over: fragments, run-ons, pronouns, agreement, and shifts. You can write your revisions on the paper itself.
  
• Part 2: in-class essay, 90 points. There will be a series of prompts to choose from. Each prompt will address a different theme and each will ask you to synthesize one of the education essays (Freire-Rodriguez) with one of the voice essays (Walker-Kakutani). Look at the reading responses to get ideas. For the essay you can use your reader and a print dictionary, but no other books or notes. You will also need paper.
