The Exams will be a version of all these tasks:

The NYS English Language Arts Regents is divided up into one three-hour day.

—Part A will test your listening skills. While taking notes, you will hear a passage read two times. You must then use your notes to answer six multiple choice questions.

—Part B will ask you to use information from two documents ( a text and a chart or graph) to write an essay for the situation provided. You will then have to use the information from those documents to answer ten multiple choice questions.

—Part C gives you two texts. You are asked to write an SRF (1 complete 6-9 sentence PARAGRAPH) for a given purpose in which you use information from both texts to establish a controlling idea.

The second SRF (1 complete 6-9 sentence PARAGRAPH) must refer to how the author uses specific literary elements to convey the controlling idea. You must then use information from those two texts to answer 10 multiple choice questions.

—Part D is the critical lens essay. For this, you are given a statement, and you must give a valid interpretation of it, tell whether you agree or disagree with what you think the statement means and then support your opinion using specific references to literary elements from any two texts that you have read in class.

Remember to FOLLOW all instructions, including all aspects of tasks.
