Steal Paragraphs A scaffold to support students with HSC style responses<br>
02
Steal is an Acronym, That Stands For Statement (what point are you trying to make in this paragraph- the topic sentence)
Technique (Identify the technique you will be analysing from your example)
Example (the specific quotes/dramatic device/dialogue/context you will be analysing)
Analyse (this is the key function and explores your knowledge of the text, you are analysing the example and technique through the topic sentence).
T.E.A- can be repeated where necessary to strengthen the response.
Link- this is the specific link back to the question, and thesis.
Many schools use different acronyms but they all have a similar function. Here is just one example<br>
03
Samples Below are a few samples used by different students in different courses. They are just a simple guide to help them get started.<br>
04
Sample Steal Paragraph The composer, christina rossetti explores the complexity of human emotion (statement) in her poem, “after death”. Rossetti’s dual meaning of the word (technique), “warm” (example) to demonstrate how despite the initial coldness of the male who “did not love [the persona] living” but who, as a result of her death, “pitied’ her and became more feeling towards the persona. (Analyse) as such it is clear that human emotions are complex. On one end of the spectrum they are cold and unfeeling but on the other, they are “warm” and loving. The male is obviously not in love, but there are complex emotions at work for he still ‘wept’ for the person and ‘pitied’ her; far more “warm” an emotion than not. (Link)<br>
05
To Kill A Mockingbird Example [S] The compassion in society explored through the perspective of a child, in “to kill a mockingbird”, highlights the significance we as humans have towards developing a resilient mind. (Connects to the question). [T] Lee’s use of the mockingbird motif shows the impact of innocence and how little we acknowledge this, which leads to the crushing of this purity and innocence “like shooting a mockingbird”. Atticus’ point of view is to teach scout, the young protagonist the importance of not harming innocence and beauty, signifying lee’s perspective about society, during a tumultuous contextual period in the united states (context link).<br>
06
Edward Scissorhands Sample [S]Those around us can improve who we are and shape our identity. [T] The dialogue and rhetorical question in, [E] “Oh Kim, I’m surprised at you, don’t you have any sympathy? [A]Further displays Peg’s empathy for those who are innocent, such as Edward. Her character helps to shape hers and others identity due to her influence. [L]Therefore her experiences with Edward further develop her identity.<br>
