Today in class we basically just discussed the midterm and the format of the midterm. He first told us that the vocab portion of the midterm will be next Monday and it will be only the 100 base words. The actual midterm exam on Wednesday will first have a section on the Toulmin Model where we will have to answer questions about it and compose our own Toulmin sentence. The next portion of the midterm will be questions on semantics like our semantics test earlier in the year. Mr. Lazarow said that there would be about 10-12 of these types of questions. Next we will have a section on The Crucible which will have around 35 questions. The next section is all about Puritan literature. We will be provided quotes from the readins we discussed in class and we will have to identify the title and author, discuss major literary characteristics and do any semantic analysis on the quote that we feel necessary. Last but not least we will have an essay that ties everything we've done so far together. Tomorrow in class we're just going to be reviewing material for the midterm. So I wanted to wish good luck to everyone because I'm sure we're all going to need it.

I've bought some gum online which claims to increase your IQ 120%. I'll be putting all my faith on that.
I have never heard of a gum like that in my life, though I have heard that gum improves thinking during test taking.
For the Toulmin Model section, Laz said as I was leaving class that the section is going to only require the composition of a Toulmin sentence. Since I was late and was rushing out the door because I was hungry, I am not sure if I understood correctly the new reqirement for the essay. Are we going to be graded on a Toulmin sentence used to organize our thoughts in the prethinking section of the essay?

He said we're not graded by our actual Toulmin sentence (which means we don't have to write one out) for the essay part but he'd like to see how we incorporate it into our essay. So basically, we only need to construct one Toulmin sentence which is for the Toulmin Model section.
