You will need to be able to match each term to its correct definition, and I might ask you to provide an
example of how some of these terms apply to the short stories we will have read prior to our quiz. On
Thursday, 10/5/06, we will spend ½ of the class period reviewing for the quiz as we play a game. It is a
good idea to make flashcards for these terms ASAP.
