Closed Prompt

Use DIDLS!
Diction - Word Choice
Imagery - Vivid Picture, sensory image
Details - self explanatory
Language - Metaphors/similes fancy literary tricks.
Syntax - Way sentences are structured

Function of all literature is to make meaning, therefore must mention.

Technique - Touchable
Effect - Technique's impression on reader.
Meaning - Author's intent.

Need a specific thesis, and use techniques as evidence for argument.

  1. A little bit short. Since the title is "Closed Prompt," I'd have liked to see more of what we learned from the closed prompts besides these couple bits of info. Maybe some opinions from you too?

  2. I like how you made such a simple outline for all the complicated the stuff that we learned about for Closed Prompts. I have to agree with Reina though, I think you could've gone a little more in depth with what we've learned and actually reflect on your experience and how this affected you.

  3. Thesis Answers Prompt? Topic sentences are claims? Intro=opener, background, thesis? Spend 5 minutes identifying the goals of the prompt, labeling them, making an outline, and writing your thesis? There's more to be said, here.
