Pre-AP: "Burning Bright" Test Preview

5/13 UPDATE: This should have posted last night, but due to Blogger issues, it didn't. Consequently, dictionaries will be allowed during the test.

The subject of our test on Friday, May 13, will be "The Tyger," a poem by William Blake.

Students who know the meaning of the following terms and vocabulary words will score better on the test tomorrow than those who don't. As may students who have actually read the poem ahead of time.
