Over these past few weeks we have been reading our five-part paragraphs out loud in class. One area of weakness has been in the commentary, whether the writer had too little information, or didn’t completely explain their main topic. To begin a five-part paragraph one must have a focused topic, one that will be elaborated on through the entire paragraph. After that three concrete details are needed in the paragraph. These are quotes and must be introduced thus embedding them. Following the concrete detail is the commentary. This is where the student will explain to you in their own words what that certain quote meant to them and what they thought the author was trying to convey through the quote. Once that has been completed the paragraph is finished with a concluding sentence that wraps everything up.
With this being my first five-part paragraph I felt that I did well. However my paragraph could have had more substance in that it conveyed the general idea but I did not elaborate as much as I should have. I also think that my word choice was repetitive. I felt I understood this project and I believe I did quite well.
your paragraph was really good!(:
