What Is It? • A Window reading response allows you to see the literary aspects of a story or essay by focusing on key stylistic citations (quotes) and analyzing their significance in the context of what you’ve read. • These citations are framed around four important images from what you’ve read, allowing us to see what they mean, as if looking through a window at an image.
What It Is • For the assigned reading, choose three significant literary citations (quotes) that clearly represent: • The Theme • The Narrative Style • Your Favorite Passage • Each citation must be at least two sentences long • Next, in at least three sentences, analyze how the three citations provide insight into what you’ve read
How to do It • Place one quote at the top • Place one quote on the left side • Place one quote on the right side • Place your analysis at the bottom Be Sure to Label Each Citation!
Add Images • In the center of the frame, draw, cut out, or download pictures that clearly represent the three passages cited (quoted) • In a phrase or sentence, state how the picture is a metaphor or symbol for the theme of the story or essay
Guidelines • Must be Colorful • No Lined Paper • Images must relate to the citations and analysis • No pencil (unless colored) • Citations must include correct parenthetical citation format and punctuation
