Our final is at 10 AM on Thursday, January 24 in room W-336. For the final, students should bring a) your copy of Ellison’s Invisible Man and b) your notes to the documentary “Many Rivers to Cross.”

For the final, you will be required to read a short story and a poem that topically relates to the themes of Ellison’s novel Invisible Man. You will write an essay that uses for evidence a) the novel Invisible Man, b) the documentary ‘Many Rivers to Cross,” and c) either the poem OR the short story.

I will collect and grade annotations of the poem and the short story. You should pre-write for the essay, and I will collect and grade that as well.

As with all our writing assignments so far, you should use argumentative structure and evidence in your essay.

The final is 90 minutes long. Students with extended time will need to use that time directly after the testing time, in the extended time room following the test.
