Shrew 1B notes

·       Titles are written using italics,  or underline, or in the case of a work taken from a work in anthology, ‘single quotes’.

·       Use literary present tense when writing about literature. If you don’t know what that is, find out.

·       Use capitals and punctuation where rules govern.

·       Embed the question in your response using the same vocabulary as the question uses. If you are asked about imagery use the word imagery in your topic sentence/ answer.

·       T.A.G but grammatically correctly/completely. Don’t write it the same way for every question.

·       P.E.E.C on your paper; if you don’t know what this means, find out.

·       Answer the whole question if it asks 2 things or about 2 characters you must do both.

·       Answer the question that was asked.

·       Quotes:

o    Set them up before you use them.

o    They need to be grammatically complete and correct.

o    They need to actually prove the thing you say they are proving.

·       Avoid editorializing/voicing opinion. It is not your job to pass judgement on the characters/play. Your job is to offer supported interpretations only.

·       Avoid slang/colloquial language. Ex. Suitors are not ‘sniffing around’ Bianca. Rather, Bianca is the ‘object of great admiration, affection, attention, desire.’

·       Keep working to develop adjectives as vocab. To describe:

o    The nature of something (a family, society, relationship)

o    The TONE of the writing

o    The MOOD the work evokes

o    The nature of a character/traits.

o    These are single words, not clauses or sentences.

·       If you are doing ‘research’ and using ideas or words from another source (online or a tutor anywhere) you must cite the source, quote the words or you are plagiarizing.

·       Going forward, if your out of class marks are too disparate to the in class marks, I’ll only be using your in class work for your grade.
