Pre-Test Reading

Can you please have this assignment done tonight by 10:30 pm EST? I have to turn it in tonight? Its only 5 questions.

Carefully read Maya Angelous essay before answering the questions. Each question asks you to explain your understanding of the meaning of one part of the text. Answer each question in your own words, paraphrasing some of the author’s ideas. Be careful not to merely copy down verbatim the part of the essay referred to in the question. Your main task is to demonstrate your understanding of the answers to the questions. To do so, you should quote words, phrases, or short sentences from the essay and, when relevant, make connections between different parts. It is important that you clearly show your answers are based on what is stated or implied by the text. In the best answers, the student will clearly explain his/her answer and demonstrate how he/she came to that understanding. It may be necessary to write several sentences in explanation. You must cite at the end of direct quotations or paraphrases from the text so as to avoid plagiarizing. E.g. (para.5). No dictionary or electronic devices can be used. You will have seventy (90) minutes to complete this Reading Exam. If you answers are shorter than 10 good sentences, you have not given a comprehensive enough answer!
