Writing Homework Help

I need an Annotated Text and Pre-writing Analysis Grid for ” How to Say nothing in 500 Words” essay. 

Tips for annotated text: note your reactions, note the author’s tone & credibility, note your observations about content, and observations about the use of expository patterns of development.

• Can you find and label the use of description: imagery, onomatopoeia, strong adjectives?
• Can you find and label the use of narration: brief story to explain, first person, second person, third person?
• Can you find and label the use of illustration: using examples to explain?
• Can you find and label the use of comparison/contrast: similes, metaphors, analogy, direct statement of similarities, direct statement of differences?
• Can you find and label any techniques that show Audience Awareness & Appeals?
• How has the author used or avoided the qualities of effective writing: unity, order, completeness, concision, coherence?

Tips for pre-writing analysis: Write a Summary, Write a Reader Response, Look for Observation on writing techniques, and Find Evidence that validates/supports your observations.
