Reminder
Hey folks,
Remember if you have questions or concerns about grades, make an appointment with your teacher for before or after school to discuss it.
If something has been entered incorrectly, give your teacher the necessary materials with a note expressing your concern.
The level of concern for students goes WAY up at mid-trimester and toward the end of the trimester. Be proactive--plan to panic early!

Final Test Questions
Hey Folks--
You'll be given a question to write on the day of the test. You will be able to use the book and your notes for your prewriting/outlining. Once you begin drafting--you can only use what you have produced in class.
You will have a total of thirty minutes to plan and thirty minutes to write.
Remember the purpose of the writing is to answer the question well--not just to finish or to finish quickly.
Choose two of the following characters: Ellen, Henry, John, Waldo. Compare and contrast the characters to determine who you think is the better example of transcendental principles. Use specific textual information to support your position.
Transcendentalism is a philosophy. Using specific evidence from the text, identify the principles of Transcendentalism that the playwrights think are most important.
Choose one of the aspects of Transcendentalism that you think is important to the philosophy. Trace the use of that aspect of Transcendentalism through the play and explain its significance.
One of the opening lines of the stage directions in the play states: “Time and space are awash here.” Explain the importance of this line to the play and to Transcendentalism using specific examples from the text.
Characters from Henry’s life appear in his nightmare. Keep in mind Henry’s stance on the war and the importance he places on Transcendentalism. Explain the significance of the appearances at this point in the play.
Based on what we’ve studied about Transcendentalism, do you think Henry is a good example of a Transcendentalist? Use specific evidence from the text to support your position.
