Materials Needed: pp. 27 and 41 in your Analytical Response to Literature guide; set of pens. Participants will copy the sentence provided on p. 27 and take notes on p. 41.
The last sentence in a body paragraph is called a Concluding Sentence (CS). For literary responses, the CS is all commentary; for expository and summary paragraphs, it depends on the assignment or purpose of the piece and may include concrete detail, such as predictions, connections, inferences, clarifications, and evaluations. Students should not repeat key words from the paragraph. That would be boring! But the CS must provide a finished feeling.
