As promised, here is a list of things that you should review for Wednesday's midterm exam. All of these were included in the readings assigned so far. 

* Dialogue & its importance

*Rhetorical situations--audience, purpose, stance, genre, media/design. Be able to define/explain each.

*Comparison & Contrast

*Be able to define description and its benefits for writers. 

*The key features of a memoir

*The two methods of organizing a comparison/contrast essay

*Figurative language used to make comparisons

*How to write a vivid description

The test will be a combination of multiple choice, short answer, and (at least) one essay.
