about

A mnemonic device to help students remember how to write an extract analysis.

lyrics

U to the M, to the double-D, W--
extract analysis, I'll tell you what you gotta do:
First, read for literal UNDERSTANDING;
I.D. the MESSAGE that the author is handing
over to the reader with his lit. DEVICES
(What would biryani be without all the spices?)
DECIDE which are most effective,
then WRITE an essay that links them all to the message.

UM, double-D, W!

Five easy steps, your literary biceps,
stronger than any super glue.
They'll give you the strength,
and it's them that you'll thank
when you don't have a metaphorin' clue!

Understanding, Message, Devices, Decide, Write!
