b. State the main idea or issue

c. State something new that was learned from the artifact/ how the information affected you

HINTS:

 REFLECTION 2

• Choose to discuss ONE language strategy

• Try to use a different language strategy for each artifact.

• Example must be included.

• Effectiveness must be discussed.

For EACH artifact:

1. State the genre and title of the artifact.

2. Identify one language technique used.

3. Give an example of the language technique.

4. Comment on how effective the techniques in achieving the writer’s purpose

Choose one language device to speak about.
