Writing Review
Let's review some of the things we have learned about writing about a text!


 * Thesis Statements**
 * 1) One complete sentence!
 * 2) Answer the prompt!
 * 3) Be specific!
 * 4) Control the language!


 * Point Sentence in an open response- Same Thing!!!!**

Answering an open response about literature
PEE - What does that look like? Point Sentence (Follow the rules of the thesis statement!) Evidence- embed quotations, signal phrases Explanation- 2x as much as evidence More Evidence- more proof from the text for your point More Explanation- more explanation of how your evidence proves your point

Language Control
Formal Language- no personal pronouns, no contractions, no slang! Vocabulary- No RIP words! Show off vocabulary!

Let's practice by writing a response as a class to the following question:

What is Rothman's "so what" in his article?
