Assignment Overview: The Middle Paragraphs

The poem you are explicating is

Ballade of Worldly Wealth

by Andrew Lang

Money

taketh

town and wall,

Fort and ramp without a blow;

Money moves the merchants all,

While the tides shall ebb and flow;

Money

maketh

Evil show

Like the Good, and Truth like lies:

These alone can ne'er bestow

Youth, and health, and Paradise.

Money

maketh

festival,

Wine she buys, and beds can

strow

;

Round the necks of captains tall,

Money wins them chains to throw,

Marches soldiers to and fro,

Gaineth

ladies with sweet eyes:

These alone can ne'er bestow

Youth, and health, and Paradise.

Money wins the priest his stall;

Money

mitres

buys, I

trow

,

Red hats for the Cardinal,

Abbeys for the novice low;

Money

maketh

sin as snow,

Place of penitence supplies:

These alone can ne'er bestow

Youth, and health, and Paradise.Slide5

Ideas/Content, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Conventions, Voice, Word Choice, PresentationSlide12

6+1 Writing Traits

Ideas/Content

The writer has narrowed the focus to a manageable level, making a strong and clear point and supporting it with solid information. Information that is not on topic has been excluded. The reader gets a clear and persuasive message. Slide13

6+1 Writing Traits

Organization

The essay has a clearly defined beginning that introduces the topic well, a supporting middle, and end that brings the essay to a satisfactory close. Paragraphs are organized around clear topics, and they contain material that is closely related. The paragraphs flow from one to another in a sequence that makes sense in supporting the main idea. Transitions within the paragraphs and between paragraphs help define the organization.Slide14

6+1 Writing Traits

Sentence Fluency

The sentences are varied in length and structure. They help support the meaning and build reader interest. The writing has a cadence, or a sound that moves the reader along.Slide15

6+1 Writing Traits

Conventions

The writing is generally free of errors in spelling, usage, and grammar. The few errors that exist can be fixed easily through editing and do not interfere with communication.Slide16

6+1 Writing Traits

Voice

The writer speaks directly to the reader in a way that is individual, compelling, and engaging. The writing is appropriate to both the audience and purpose of the writing.Slide17

6+1 Writing Traits

Word Choice

Words convey the intended message in a precise, interesting, and natural way. The words are powerful and engaging. Striking language and lively verbs enhance reader interest, and the words chosen are accurate and precise in meaning.Slide18

6+1 Writing Traits

Presentation

The appearance of the writing is attractive and does not confuse the reader. In this assignment, the writer will use an appropriate and consistent font, font size, color, and margins.Slide19
