Writing commentary is without a doubt the most difficult aspect of the literary analysis essay. It is the ONE part for which there is no formula because it's the part of the essay that contains the writer's original thoughts, or commentary/ analysis, on the evidence of the essay.
In this 38-page bundle, I have provided students with two methods for crafting commentary that will help them not only write analysis but also take it to a deeper level: the "This Shows That Method" and the "LET" Method.
This bundle also contains:
--Commentary vs. Plot Summary Practice
--Commentary Do's and Don'ts
--Teacher Approval Forms
--Commentary Four-Square Activity
--Commentary-Evidence Connection Guide
--Commentary Depth Guide
--Crafting Commentary Practice
--Essay Ratiocination Guide
--Commentary Task Cards
--Targeted Skill Rubric: Commentary
This is an essential bundle for the writing process because the commentary is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the literary analysis essay.

If Conditionals
Mixed conditionals We use mixed conditionals if we want to mix talking about the present and the past in the same sentence. The mixed conditional is a combination of the second and the third conditional: ➪ We can use past simple or continuous in the if-clause (to refer to the present or future), and would/should/might have + past participle in the main clause (to refer to the past). ➪ We can also use past perfect in the if-clause (to refer to the past), and would/should/might + infinitive (to refer to the present). If I didn’t have (second conditional) so much work, I would have gone (third conditional) to the party last night. If I spoke (second conditional) German, I would have understood (third conditional) them. If I had won (third conditional) the lottery, I would be (second conditional) rich. If I hadn’t dropped (third conditional) school, I could have (second conditional) a better job now. Alternatives to if in conditional sentences As long as / provided (that) / p...
