Main Concept 1: Techniques
This course focused majorly on techniques in writing, and what those techniques can express to a reader. This includes DIDLS, novel terms, drama terms, comedy terms, and any of the other techniques authors use. For example, we discussed multiple types of repetition in class. Each of these types can express something different to the reader, and emphasize an alternate part of a sentence. Being able to recognize literary techniques is an essential part of reading anything, and will be vital during the AP test, the test that the entire class aims to prepare us for.

You definitely mentioned all the different elements we discussed when close reading literature. However, I cannot help but think that this might be too brief a synopsis. You mention things like DIDLS and comedy, but you don't actually say what any of thos things are. I think it might be a more helpful as a study guide if you expounded upon these ideas a little more.
ReplyDeleteYour second sentence holds a lot; you could expand it into explanations and lists of each for a more thorough review.
ReplyDeleteYour peers gave you some good advice, here--revisions based on their comments would have been a good thing.
