First Poetry Response

In 300 - 500 words consider the Father-Son relationship in either "My Papa's Waltz" or "Those Winter Sundays."  This is a formal, academic response. As such, this paragraph cannot be written in first person.

Include:
  • A catchy opening
  • A clear thesis statment - author, title, your main idea, and a sense of direction
  • Several supporting points.
  • Many, many supporting quotes. See examples here.
  • Evaluate your ideas.
  • Use transitions. PEET model.
  • Conclusion - check your thesis.
