Discussion:
Wolff: “Analyzing Writing Strategies” #3
Open your SMG to p31: Sentence length.
![Page 22: 1 a class 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d3d21d8b42a766e8b5253/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Comparing Short and Long Sentences
What do they contribute to the action?
How do their contents differ?
What effect do the short sentences have on you as a reader?
![Page 23: 1 a class 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d3d21d8b42a766e8b5253/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Use Sentence Length to Control the Tension in your story
1. Focus on the climax of your event. Write a paragraph describing the action using short and long sentences to control the intensity of your narrative.
![Page 24: 1 a class 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d3d21d8b42a766e8b5253/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reflecting on the Event's
Significance pp. 48-49
![Page 25: 1 a class 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d3d21d8b42a766e8b5253/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Show that the event was important
• Dramatize the event so readers can understand your feelings about it.
• Show scenes from your point of view so readers can identify with you.
Tell us that the event was important
• Tell how you felt at the time of the experience
• Tell how you feel about it now, in reflection.
The Goal: Indicate the Event’s Significance
![Page 26: 1 a class 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d3d21d8b42a766e8b5253/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Strategy: Recall Remembered Feelings and Thoughts: Answer These Questions:
• What were your expectations before the event?
• What was your first reaction to the event as it was happening and right after it ended?
• How did you show your feelings? What did you say?
• What did you want the people involved to think of you? Why did you care what they thought of you?
• What did you think of yourself at the time?
• How long did these initial feelings last?
• What were the immediate consequences of the event for you personally?
Pause now to reread what you have written. Then write another sentence or two about the event’s significance to you at the time it occurred.
