• Review Speeches and Rhetorical Devices:
  Use the speeches handout to review devices discussed during our lessons on speeches, including rhetorical questions, anaphora, and various appeals (ethos, logos, pathos, etc.).

• Upcoming Retest on Literary Devices:
  A literary devices retest will take place on Tuesday upon your return. Review all terms, including but not limited to those from our lessons on Caesar (Freytag's Pyramid, tragic hero, turning point, hamartia, tragic flaw, hubris, etc.) and lessons on speeches (rhetorical devices, appeals, etc.). Be sure to also review the wider literary devices handout provided at the beginning of the year. The last test results could have been much better.

  Begin reviewing for your final exam, focusing specifically on literary terms. You will receive a review sheet closer to the exam to help narrow your scope, but you are responsible for all course content.
