DIDLS is very what we use to analyze a passage, either a short story, news paper, or an essay. Readers can use these techniques to break down the passage, and deeper understand what the author is talking about, and DIDLS iis used for AP testing too.
I feel like your definitions are too textbook-y and should be more in your own words. This is to help you study! You could have gone into more detail about what exactly these words mean. You give a definition but some examples would have been nice. There is a lot more you could have added about DIDLS here.
ReplyDeleteI'm in agreement with Emily to a large extent; there's more you can say about DIDLS, even in a general sense. Examples and in some cases more specific explanation for the concept at hand may be beneficial. Detail and imagery are probably the most abstracted and lacking in concrete explanation and expansion. Beyond that, it's good to have DIDLS consolidated in one spot, but you still may wish to include more stuff from the class notes.
