Daily EOC

[Mark Alford]

I'm starting this up, but I can't promise a daily dose just yet. The idea is to put up an EOC question each day. It can be used as a warm up idea or quiz questions, it doesn't matter.

The questions are big font to be easy to see on a Smart Board or projector.

If you have any EOC questions for me to put in the mix, please post them here as a reply. I want questions that we make up so that there is no copyright issues. Each passage will only be a sentence to 4 sentences long.

The blog is found at: dailyeoc.blogspot.com/

This is a cool idea. I will try to add to it sometime this week. The whole idea of this site is cool. If more participation could be generated, we could all benefit.

I would appreciate all the help. I got slack today and didn't post one. I do hope that the more teachers see this and work together that this could become a good tool for all of us.

Thanks for the kind words!

I sent the link to my daughter who also teaches English. I'm sure she will share it at her school.

She did share it with her daughter (me) and I have indeed shared it with my school. Thanks!

I'm so tired of making these questions! The good news is that next year I can recycle the ones I've already made. Then it won't take too much to fill in the ones that I'm missing.

The question is:
The cartoon is an example of which literary term below?
a. idiom
b. understatement
c. hyperbole
d. irony

Explanation:
a. An idiom is an expression where the meaning is more than just the literal meaning of the words. The phrase has a figurative meaning. Ex: My Uncle Geezer always says a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. What he really means is that a sure thing now can be better than a chance of something more later.
B. This is also not right. The cartoon is not trying to underplay or underdescribe a situation.
c. Yes! It is hyperbole. The patient is trying to say he has waits so much for this doctor that he can finish an article this time that he read when he waited for the doctor the previous time.
d. Irony. Nothing ironic here. Irony is a contrast between what one expects and what occurs. It is normal to wait in a doctor's office.
