Preparation for Midterm Exam

To prepare for your midterm exam, you should read through the five articles in the September 29, 2008 issue of Maclean's on the different candidates in Canada's current leadership race (Stephen Harper p. 18-22; Stephane Dion, p. 23-26; Jack Layton, p. 28-30; Gilles Duceppe, p. 31-32 and Elizabeth May, p. 33-34). Also read Andrew Coyne's essay on p. 12 entitled "How Journalists Get in the Way of the Election" .

Bring the magazine with you, along with your course manual and a dictionary. The second part of the exam is open-book.

The first part of the exam is closed book. You will need to study the vocabulary and language elements listed on the handout I gave in class.
