Review for your Exam!

Dear All:
     Sorry I was grumpy and dizzy today.  I "woke up on the wrong side of the bed," as they say.  Anyway, to help you out a bit I'm giving you some ideas of stuff to practice for the mid-term:

We reviewed four types of texts, but I really want you to be able to distinguish between three of them:
-Nonfiction Stories
-Persuasive Essays
-Informational Articles

How do these differ?  Which are factual, and which are opinionated?  Which tell stories, and which just convey information?  In which one does the author tend to have a point?

Speaking of fact and opinion, what is the difference?  What is a "false fact?"  Is "I love Indonesia" a fact or an opinion?  What about "The Earth is flat?"

There are two modifiers in the sentence, "The motorcycle mirror was broken because I hit the ramp crooked."  One modifies a noun, and the other a verb.  Which words are the modifiers, and what words do they modify?

Be ready to do a small reading and answer multiple questions about it!

Lastly, be ready for a 1-star logic puzzle, like the ones you've completed before.  Make sure you know how to define "mutual exclusivity," how to graph and cross-hatch, and how to process list and ordinal clues!

Hope that helps.  If you still have questions, just leave a comment!
