Are you noticing any improvement in certain skill areas (e.g., "I am now more confident about determining emergent themes and viable theme statements based on our work the past two classes. If the 7 Habits Unit Exam was today, I would definitely get question #13 correct!"). Also, review your theme notes, as the writing section of your midterm exam is theme-related, and an on-demand in-class writing task pertaining to theme is likely forthcoming!
