Evaluation guidelines for three - column notes

1. Provide a minimum of three examples from each of the four sections of the essay. Select quotes that seem especially effective in their use of diction to create the mood, meaning, or effect of the essay.

2. Provides clear, accurate description of context and significance of all quotes

  • Context: What events are  happening in the essay at this point
  • Significance: Why does it matter that this specific thing is being said or done? 

3. Provides insightful discussion of how this passage uses the specific meaning of these word choices in order to communicate the ideas and accomplish the purpose you identified in your first response. Make sure to address

  • implied or figurative meaning
  • connections to other ideas or word choices raised elsewhere in the text
  • the effect of these word choices on the mood or atmosphere in which the narrative takes place
  • the impact of the word choice on the reader's feelings or understanding
  • any special connection to the specific ideas raised in this part (I, II, III, or IV) of the text
