GIVE ME FIVE! Allright,
now. I know it's corny, but you'll always have your hand "handy" to help
you remember to write five quality, related paragraphs. |
 |
THUMBS UP!
means you'll start with an introductory paragraph that grabs your reader's
attention and entices them to read on. In the introductory paragraph you'll
give the reader an idea of what your topic will be. In order for it to
be considered a "quality" paragraph, it will have a topic sentence, supported
by several other sentences. The introductory paragraph is also known as
"the beginning" of your essay. |
 |
MAKE YOUR POINTS!
means that your next three paragraphs will make your points about your
topic. They suport your introductory paragraph. They are also known as
"the middle" of your essay. |
 |
CLOSE! Now
you close by summarizing what you have said. A powerful essay will make
sure that all of your paragraphs are working together as a team, with the
closing restating, if different words, what you have said. You are concluding
your essay. The closing paragraph is also known as "the end" of your essay.
