WEN03: commentary and revision

A commentary analyses the writing you actually produced. Select significant choices, quote briefly and explain how they respond to genre, audience, purpose and context. Discuss transformation of source material and evaluate success. Do not list intended devices that are absent from the final text or claim every choice was perfectly effective.

Consider the original model “The inclusive pronoun positions readers as participants in the proposal.” alongside “The reordered source details create a chronological account suited to biography.”. Use these as small demonstrations of the method, not as claims about an entire community or genre. An effective analytical response moves from an accurate observation to an interpretation and then to a contextual explanation. If another interpretation is plausible, test it against the available evidence. For original writing, reverse that process: decide the audience and effect before choosing the form. Read the finished work again to assess whether its language actually fulfils the intention.

වැඩි විස්තර අවශ්‍ය විට පමණක් මෙම කොටස කියවන්න.

Explain what was selected, omitted, reordered or revoiced from the sources and why. Connect these decisions to the new text’s communicative needs. A source may provide facts while your structure creates a different emphasis. Evaluate whether adaptation remains faithful and effective, including a limitation where appropriate.

Consider the original model “Technical detail becomes an explained example for non-specialist readers.” alongside “A list of events is reorganised around one significant turning point.”. Use these as small demonstrations of the method, not as claims about an entire community or genre. An effective analytical response moves from an accurate observation to an interpretation and then to a contextual explanation. If another interpretation is plausible, test it against the available evidence. For original writing, reverse that process: decide the audience and effect before choosing the form. Read the finished work again to assess whether its language actually fulfils the intention.

Evaluation considers whether the produced text achieves its intended effect, using evidence rather than self-praise. Identify a strength and a limitation. Suggest a revision connected to audience or purpose and explain its likely benefit. Maintain the difference between a genuine evaluation of the completed text and an account of what you hoped to do.

Consider the original model “The opening creates immediacy, but it delays essential practical information.” alongside “A shorter second paragraph would make the central recommendation easier to follow.”. Use these as small demonstrations of the method, not as claims about an entire community or genre. An effective analytical response moves from an accurate observation to an interpretation and then to a contextual explanation. If another interpretation is plausible, test it against the available evidence. For original writing, reverse that process: decide the audience and effect before choosing the form. Read the finished work again to assess whether its language actually fulfils the intention.
