ELA1104-ABED_1: 2.2 Formative - Personal Literary Response Planning

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to read a text, and to practice creating a personal literary response to what you have read. This planning chart will not be worth marks and it will give you opportunity to practice writing the paragraphs of your personal essay before you create your final draft.

This planning chart must be completed, submitted, and receive teacher feedback before you create and submit your final polished draft of the essay for assignment 2.3, which will be evaluated for marks.

Please proceed and work on Assignment 2.4 if you are waiting for teacher feedback. Taking a mental break between your planning and final drafts is also a good editing technique, as you will be able to review your planning chart work "with a fresh eye."

Reviewing notes and tutorials more than one time is a good strategy to learn and grow as a writer. Keep reviewing your sentence structure, and paragraph writing short notes, as one learning step will lead to the next, and what you may not be ready to focus upon in earlier reviews, may now become more meaningful for you. Before you know it, you will have become an accomplished writer!

Step 1: Re-read/review "To Every Thing There Is a Season" by Alistair MacLeod on pages 300–305 of Sightlines 10.

Step 2: Review the 2.2 Student Exemplar of the Personal Response Chart and the teacher feedback in pink lettering.

Step 3: Review this list of transitional words, as well the glossary information for transitional sentences, as it is expected that you will apply both to your literary response planning.

Step 4: Choose and download the planning chart format of your choice. You will need to read this story more than once.
