UNIT TESTS

Go over the instructions in detail and allow the students the entire class period to complete the exam. Activity #2 Collect all test papers and assigned books prior to the end of the class period. NOTES ABOUT THE UNIT TESTS IN THIS UNIT: There are 5 different unit tests which follow. There are two short answer tests which are based primarily on facts from the novel. There is one advanced short answer unit test. It is based on the extra discussion questions and quotations. Use the matching key for short answer unit test 2 to check the matching section of the advanced short answer unit test. There is no key for the short answer questions and quotations. The answers will be based on the discussions you have had during class. There are two multiple choice unit tests. Following the two unit tests, you will find an answer sheet on which students should mark their answers. The same answer sheet should be used for both tests; however, students' answers will be different for each test. Following the students' answer sheet for the multiple choice tests you will find your answer keys. The short answer tests have a vocabulary section. You should choose 10 of the vocabulary words from this unit, read them orally and have the students write them down. Then, either have students write a definition or use the words in sentences. Use these words for the vocabulary section of the advanced short answer test: meager translucent insolent felicitous remorseful acrid transparent presumptuous illusion deftly touted malodorous jauntily verbatim taut mesmerizing pristine covenant revered devious forage
