You will have one hour and thirty minutes to write a practice CAT-W by hand. You may use a paper dictionary only. Cell phones must be off. You cannot talk to each other, ask me any questions, or get up once the exam has begun. I will call time after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour and fifteen minutes, and when there are 5 minutes left to help you with the pacing.
Your essay must have:
- A summary of the passage.
- A claim or thesis responding to a significant idea in the passage.
- At least 2 body paragraphs with relevant reasons and concrete evidence. In each paragraph, refer back to the passage by quoting and commenting on the quotes.
- A conclusion
Choose one CAT-W out of the four in the print handout and craft a response to it. You can take more than the usual 90 minutes allotted if you wish. This will be Print Portfolio Piece # 9 and it must be typed. Please bring a digital copy of this piece on Tuesday so we can do some more work on it in class.
I preparation for your Midterm Portfolio, please bring
