Passage Focus Question Creation due THURS., 2/26

For the next part to the analysis of the writings of your pre-20th century author, you will be:
1.  Choosing a brief passage from your author (the length of a typical AP m.c. reading passage)
2.  Creating 10 AP-style multiple choice questions to accompany this passage.  These multiple choice question stems may help as you create your multiple choice questions. (recommendation: do two of each type of question, mix them up).
3.  Creating an annotated answer key to go with the questions.

FORMAT NOTE:  You will need to TYPE the questions and answers.
Your passage will be printed separately, as well as separate papers for the questions and the annotated answer key.  This will be used by a classmate for m.c. practice, so consider this as you format and formulate the questions.
