[quote=Anonymous]Chances are they will face the biggest challenge in English. Most public and Catholic school students enter the Big 3 with a loose grasp of thesis statements and topic sentences. They also struggle with the fundamentals of closely reading a text because their pasts schools tested mostly for content comprehension. I would have your DC review the fundamentals of literature, especially elements such as metaphor, simile, personification, etc. They should be able to identify these elements and explain their significance to the larger themes of the literary work.[/quote]
