Friday 16 December Scarlet Letter finale

In class today: we'll continue with your presentations. This appears to be an excellent way of tying the book together. In reality, we'll not finish with everyone today'; so that'll happen on Monday, and we'll use Tuesday for the final assessment. You will most assuredly need to have read carefully. What the test will consist of is quotes where you'll identify the context and point out its relevancy in terms of a character, theme, plot device, point of view or setting.
Since there was some confusion over the questions that were posted for Thursday, you may turn them in on Friday. The novel is to have been read by Friday. Make sure you have done so.
Friday's questions; again you can turn in Thursday's for no penalty.
