The final exam for English III will cover the authors and stories that we have just read in our Modern Fiction Unit.
If you look below, you can see all of the stories that you need to know, the authors, and some sample questions. Review the stories you don't remember as well and the notes. Your Grapes of Wrath final draft must be delivered to me by 3:20 on Monday, with no exceptions.
