Root of the Week: -IC (suffix meaning "nature of" or "-like"). Note that -IC turns a noun into an adjective.

Wed. 10/3/18 @ 8pm: We will have a live stream study session. Subscribe to my channel or check Twitter/weblog for notification of live status.
There will be multiple choice and written portions. You will be allowed to use your annotated book on the written section.
The test will be similar to the first test, except that it will include passages from the epic poem and questions from our wrap-up activities (Halverson article, themes, genres).
For the passage-based questions, you will need to identify things like vocabulary, the speaker in the passage, who is being addressed, the importance of the passage to the narrative as a whole, whether or not the passage is a digression. The written sections will come from the passages as well. Here is a sample passage-based series of questions.
Background information will appear on the exam. Review:
