Mystery Literary Response Paragraphs
In place of summary paragraph, please use these guidelines.
4. Literary Response: Write two or three paragraphs using the predictions you made as you read the book to write a literary interpretation of the plot. You are NOT writing a summary. Was the author clever in the vices used to create the mystery? Prove what you say by using citations from the book. As you made your predictions, did the author surprise you or were you able to predict the plot line. Be specific and give examples of your predictions and citations to back up the author’s surprises. Did the author use any foreshadowing that you were able to realize and therefore predict the correct outcome? (Prove with citations.) Was the mystery unpredicted or was it a typical story with a common mystery topic?

this is confusing
that was me up there
Do we still have an introduction and conclusion paragraph or is the whole response just three paragraphs
do we still have characters and setting and plot???
Is it mandatory or extra credit?
its mandatory
& yes we still do the charcter & setting & polt, this is just a change in one ov da paragraphs i think
I think that we just replace the summary/plot paragraph, which is number 4, with the literary response. Ms. Gladden said, "In place of summary paragraph...", so the literary reponse becomes your "summary" paragraph. Additionally, since the blog said, "Write two or three paragraphs...", we probably have to write more than one paragraph for the literary response portion.
Ms.Gladden do we right more than one paragraph for the predictions part??? How many paragraphs are there in all???
its the same book respons but instead of writing a polt paragraph we use these directions, right? And iclude it in the book respons
Yes. You replace the plot paragraph with the new literary response part. I don't know exactly how many paragraphs you need to write it, just write use as many paragrahs as you need (maybe?).
Sorry, I meant "write/use" in the how many paragraphs part. :)
is it 3 more paragraphs so the resopnes is oing to be 7 or as many as we need?
In total, you need 7 paragraphs.
Introduction: 1
Settings: 1
Characters: 1
Literary Response: 3
Conlcusion: 1
1+1+1+3+1=7 :D
Hey is anyone else having problems with studyisland because the site is down and i have one more section to do
Wait?! 7 paragraphs??? Now I'm confused.
Jordyn:
Introduction: 1 paragraph
Settings: 1 paragraph
Characters: 1 paragraph
Literary Response: 3 paragraphs (instead of summary)
Conlcusion: 1 paragraph
If you add them all up, you have 7 paragraphs to write.
Well, 6 or 7 paragraphs. Becuase some people will only write 2 paragraphs. But yes, I understand.
Can we use "I" in these 2/3 paragraphs? ('m sure this question has already been answered...sorry :))
