Review of paragraph response formatting

The fundamentals of literary response structure. Here are the notes from today:

Paragraph format(PEE)

1  Topic sentence/thesis:  What you will show or prove (please embed my question in your response)

2 Example: Illustrative example drawn from the text (a quotation or a reference) 

3 Discussion:  Analyse for your reader the relationships between your example and your assertion. How would you like us to interpret your message?

4 Conclusion/Transition: If you are ending, reword and reaffirm your original assertion/topic sentence. If you are transitioning to another paragraph, dove tail your idea from this paragraph and get us ready for what is to come in the next paragraph. (see me for examples of this if you need review)

·      Provide a title for your work

·      Use T.A.G (title, author,genre) when writing about literature. Ex. In his play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ William Shakespeare depicts. . .

·      Use the literary present tense EX. Shakespeare draws rich characters such as Romeo who is a complex individual. (the characters and the work are present)

·      Embed the question in your topic sentence/assertion.
