Response to Literature
On Friday the 29th, in English class, we briefly discussed the orderly structure of a paragraph. I learned that in a response to literature, the main purpose is to point out the main idea/theme and give a detail to support that main idea. I never knew that there was a specific way to structure a paragraph when doing a response to literature. Of course I knew that we should use TAG(title, author, genre), point out the main idea, explain/use details- however- I never realized that a specific structure and procedures had existed. I also learned that I should always use a quote/citation to explain the main idea and that I should only use 1 citation per paragraph. Also, I learned a very important concept I shall remember throughout life: don't EVER, EVER, EVER end in a quote. These concepts I learned on Friday reflected & had changed the way I write my paragraphs for a response to literature.

I learned alot in that lesson and it really helped me on how to set up my paragraphs and organize them.
ReplyDeleteI also learned that you never end a paragraph with a quote because you are not supposed to give new info at the end.
