Today, I returned the marked text critique for "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." I showed the students an exemplar and reinforced some points:
Summaries are to be three sentences, include the genre, title and author (or person who translated) and give an overview of the work (the before, during and after). The details are to be saved for the "what is relevant" section.
When filling in the "what is relevant" section, include all the details that you feel would be important to know or details that will direct you to knowing information to use as evidence in an essay. Since the summary will be short on the details and the "So What" isn't supposed to use them, it is important to capture them here.
In the "So What" section, the point is to show what ideas you have arrived at after reading this piece. It is to be a reflection on a topic that has shown itself. It is not to be a summary.
I then instructed students to reexamine their text critique for "Robin Hood and the Three Squires." They are to hand it in by the end of class.
