What Is It?

• A Window reading response allows you to see the
  literary aspects of a story or essay by focusing
  on key stylistic citations (quotes) and analyzing
  their significance in the context of what youve
  read.
• These citations are framed around four important
  images from what youve read, allowing us to see
  what they mean, as if looking through a window at
  an image.

What It Is

• For the assigned reading, choose three
  significant literary citations (quotes) that
  clearly represent
• The Theme
• The Narrative Style
• Your Favorite Passage
• Each citation must be at least two sentences long
• Next, in at least three sentences, analyze how
  the three citations provide insight into what
  youve read

How to do It

• Place one quote at the top
• Place one quote on the left side

Add Images

• In the center of the frame, draw, cut out, or
  download pictures that clearly represent the
  three passages cited (quoted)

  a metaphor or symbol for the theme of the story
  or essay
