What should be included in an answer in an English Honors class to ensure full credit?This is in reference to novels and poetry responses.

As a teacher of English Honors courses, I expect my students to submit thorough answers that restate the question and thoroughly answer all parts of it, using textual evidence to support opinions.

If the question is relative to a novel, literary terms such as characterization, foreshadowing, irony, imagery and plot triangle should be referred to and expanded upon in the answer. Also, the author and title of the novel should be included in the introductory paragraph.

For a question relative to poetry, poetic devices such as rhyme, alliteration, metaphor, simile, oxymoron and the like should be mentioned and expanded upon in the answer. The question should also be restated, and the title and author of the work should be mentioned.
