1.Explain refers to one of the five purposes for writing.

Often, a writer combines two or more of these in a specific text: 1.To entertain 2.To explain 3.To explore 4.To inform 5.To persuade

4. Reflective refers to writing that is contemplative and thoughtful. Typically, reflective writing is analytical and offers insight into a writer’s own argument, writing process, and product. 5. Shift refers to a change in the passage. For example, point of view may shift from third to first person. Diction may shift from formal to informal. Pattern of development may shift from narrative to analysis. Syntax may shift from short to long sentences. Shift within a passage indicates an area of emphasis, as the change purposefully affects meaning. 6. Structure refers to two things. The form (genre) of the passage and the method of development within it. When analyzing structure, identify the mode or modes the author is using and what effect the modes have on the passage as a whole.
