3^rd Nine Week Non-Fiction Test Over(RE)view

The exam will have 5 Parts and a total of 50 questions. Below tells you what each section covers, how it will be tested, and what you can study.

Part One: Identifying Text Features – You will look at a page from a magazine and identify text features.  The questions will be matching. You did this on the Text Features Quiz. Please study the Text Features list and the quiz.

Part Two: Identifying Text Structure – You will read 5 short passages and determine the text structure (compare and contrast, problem and solution, chronological/time order, sequence/procedural, cause and effect, spatial/description).  This is just like the three practices we have done.  Use them to study! You also have notes in your VIPs.

Part Three:  Non-Fiction and Documentation – You will answer multiple choice questions about non-fiction and documentation.  The questions on this sheet are to review for this section.

Part Four: Bringing it All Together! – You will read a paired passage and answer questions – multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer.  Questions will cover: analysis (author’s purpose), literary elements and devices (simile, metaphor, etc.), non-fiction text features (captions, titles, etc.) and structures (see Part Two).  You can study the Literary Lexicon and the Text Features Quiz (it will look a lot like this quiz).

Part Five: Bio Book Boogie – Okay, you won’t actually have to dance…classifying book excerpts by type. Questions about the Malala Book Study and questions on this review.
