20 Students Now Accused in L.I. Case on Cheating
In this article, the author does a fantastic job of portraying proper diction, detail, and language to get his point across and inform the readers of this great problem that is national cheating on national tests.
The author effectively uses diction to get his point across using words such as "underscore, disparity"which are not commonly used words but effectively gets his point across. He effectively portrays his argument of how harsh of a crime and problem this is in our country and how much this effects the country.
He also used proper details so that there is not too much information that the article becomes boring and tedious but also providing just enough information so that his point is properly made.
Therefore this article is a good example of proper diction and details to properly portray the idea that this major nationwide crime is terrible and must be taken care of.
I really like your intro pragraph! you start out strong and have good examples for diction! Although you stated language as one of your DIDLS to prove that this article was very well written,but i dont see any evidence for language. Other than that, great job the article sounds really intresting!
ReplyDeleteGood choice on the article, that was an interesting one to read. You did a nice job of explaining the diction choices and you used quotes for that one, but on the details section you didn't provide any specific details, that would have been nice. And like Dana said, I don't see any evidence of language, which you mentioned in the beginning, but at the end you just say details and diction, so try and get that evidence in there somewhere. Otherwise, nice job with this close read.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you understand this article, as you point out some good ideas. The article you picked was interesting,so I think your evidence could be more devloped. Like Grace and Dana said, there is no evidence of language.
