Non-Fiction Quiz

You will be writing a non-fiction quiz on Wed. Jan.24. To prepare for the quiz (and upcoming exam) you should:

• Read over all your notes/hand-outs on non-fiction (you will not be asked defnitions; however, you need to understand all terms).
• You will be given a sight reading (a piece of writing you have not read before). You will be asked to identify what type of writing it is (ie: expository, persuasive, descriptive, or narrative) and defend your choice.
• You will be asked to determine the author's thesis statement (you must defend your choice).
• You will be asked to identify the main arguments employed by the author (you must defend your choices).
• There may be 1-2 additional questions relating to the piece.

Please see me if you have any questions about this quiz. Good luck studying!!
