P.E.E Literary response paragraph structure notes:
Essay paragraph structure: Formatting info. with examples
short review of literary response paragraph structure to which we will refer in class:
· Use T.A.G (title, author,genre) when writing about literature. Ex. In his play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ William Shakespeare depicts. . .(usually in the first couple of sentences)
· When typing, you state any title in italics.
· Write about literature using the Literary Present Tense. Ex. Romeo is a romantic. Shakepeare shows us the passion of youth.
· Examples of support should be parallel ex. Dogs are loyal, bright and loving . NOT Dogs are loyal, bright and furry.
Paragraph format(PEE)
