Well since attending Olympia everyone, including myself was thrown into the 5 part paragraph form that every student has to use. At first I was confused and didn't understand why in the world the school was making us write in this foreign form. But after listening to the class present, I saw that everyone learns the same thing but everyone takes the paragraph in a different way. For the most part, people really understood commentary because that is where they inject their own personality. The only thing that was said about commentary was that some people wrote too much plot summary, which is the author's thoughts and not their own. The other point that was brought up often was all about quotes. If seemed that either you didn't embed them properly or your quotes just weren't creative or different. But all of that is just the learning process and no one's paragraph was perfect.
I think that one my paragraph I should have picked more creative transitions and not forgotten the ending transition! I was so focused on the rest of the paragraph being the best that I let the transitions slip. Which I now know makes the class comment, a lot. But over all I think that I understood the 5 part paragraph and will be able to do others' in the future.
