Here is the condensed Georgia Dept. of Education’s American Literature EOCT study guide.
I included the items you NEED to make sure to remember and to know how to do. The last section (grammar, research, and writing) is where the majority of you need the most work.
If you are weak on grammar or unsure of yourself, LOOK IT UP! Google it on the web, and you’ll find definitions and examples.
OKAY, update as of 7:33 pm (and yes, sadly I’m still at school), I can’t link the document I created for you. I will try later tonight. It is about 10 pages, so you will get a copy in class to examine but not to keep. I HIGHLY encourage you to print this link, once I am able to get it posted, and study!
Meanwhile, here’s the EOCT study guide in its entirety:

Scroll down and click on both section of the American Literature EOCT.
See you tomorrow. I need to get home!

Happy Earth Day! It’s odd how trends are cyclical. I remember the publicity surrounding protecting Mother Earth in the early 90s, before that it was the 60’s and now it’s the early 21st Century. I hate how the media has collective ADD — it focuses on one thing and pounds it into the general public’s heads for a while and then forgets, which makes the general public forget or feel like it’s not a big deal anymore. Whether you question the existance of Global Warming or not, everyone has to admit it is wise to conserve. I was watching a PBS show this weekend and the chief water management officer of Las Vegas was speaking about how in 14 or so years, if the water’s main source keeps being taken then Las Vegas will not have any water which in turn will affect the Hoover Dam and electricity. Can you imagine Las Vegas without water or electricity?
Another example of the media making us forget is Georgia’s drought. What happened to it? Are we fine now and out of the crisis? Geesh…inquiring minds would like to know….
Anyhow, onwards and upwards…
JUNIORS: Today we discussed Chapter 2, you took notes, and we read part of Chapter 3. HW: FInish Chapter 3 and review the whole chapter. Remember index cards are due on Thursday (words 41-80).
SOPHOMORES: Today was dress rehearsal day and the final rehersal day in class. Some of you don’t know your lines yet. Yikes. I was observing today and making notes of who did and who didn’t and how things were going in your group. Remember this part is 25% of your total grade. You also chose a committee for our Shakespeare Picnic next Tuesday.
HW: All written material is due tomorrow. If you misplaced your handout, see yesterday’s post and download and print it. Also, remember the Hamlet test is on Monday. As soon as I’m done with today’s post, I will post the study guide. Also, go to the sophomore honors handouts page on this website and review the Hamlet Study Guide Wiki.
Have a fabulous Earth Day. Go home and do something to save the planet!
