Part 1 – matching/fill in the blanks – narrative terms & maybe some basics about the stories. PART 2 – written response – I will be checking for 2 things. One is your skills and knowledge of proper writing structure. The other is your understanding of the themes of the stories. You’ll be writing on one of the themes that has come up in several stories. You’ll have to discuss how that theme is shown in 3 of the stories by providing evidence/examples from 3 of the stories.
