Kendall Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I really like Windows to the World. I like the way she uses different fonts in her example paragraph to show the different parts such as arch sentence, assertion and anchor, quotations, and commentary. She gives the following other words for the term commentary; analysis, evaluation, insights, explication, etc. The example in the book is really helpful but I would like to see more examples of the commentary section. Do you have any suggestions for books that would have sample essays or paragraphs of commentary? Or paragraphs that you have written would be great, too. I think I need to see more examples to really get it. Thanks in advance, Kendall Edited March 3, 2012 by matermultorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Here is an example from Marcia Somerville of Tapestry of Grace, from her "Writing Aids" resources. Here, here, and here are miscellaneous examples. Here are samples of timed essays and their scores/grading from the College Board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
