Choose 40 points worth of questions to answer.  You are NOT to answer all questions!  The answers for each question should be in complete paragraphs. 
Each question must include one or more examples or quotes from the text as evidence.
You may write out your answers, or email Mr Dennis: dennisj@waterlooschools.org
However you respond, make sure to put the question number in front of the paragraph.  Failure to do so will result in -1 point.
For every five points a question is worth, you must address the following:
·         Thesis
·          Topic Sentence / Supporting Idea (if 10 or 15 points)
·         Evidence (2+ examples if only 5 points)
·         Commentary for each piece of evidence
·         Conventions.

All take-home tests are due Monday, October 1.  Good luck!
