Essay Guidelines- Structuring the Essay The essay should have three parts: – Introduction – Body – Conclusion

Introduction: – Attention Grabber – Background about the topic (Explain the subject) – Thesis (state your stance/topic and two reasons) Body – Topic Sentence – states the main idea of the paragraph (state your first reason/argument) – Concrete Details – these are the supporting sentences that provide quotes, examples, facts, reasons, etc.) – Commentary – make comments on the CDs and explain how the concrete details support your stance or why they are valuable *Remember 1CD:2CM – Concluding Sentence – summarize the main idea/s of the paragraph or paraphrase your topic sentence Conclusion – Summarize the ideas discussed, including your stance – Address the “so what question” - Make a suggestion, prediction, or offer a solution – Finish with an impact statement – leaves your reading thinking; may tie back to AG or title

Timed Writing Notes: 45 minute essay 8-10 minutes – Pre-write Dissect the prompt – Circle key verbs that tell you what to do. List ideas pertaining to the topic Make a pre-write (outline or bubble cluster) *Your pre-write should include the essay topic, topic sentences ideas, and concrete details. Develop a thesis statement – Use the ideas you listed in the previous step to help you decide what opinion or stance your essay is going to prove. *Make sure your thesis directly addresses the prompt and includes your two talking points. (Be aware that some prompts ask you to do more than one thing.)

Timed Writing Notes: 45 minute essay 30 minutes – Write the essay Write a logical, well-organized essay using your pre- write as your guide. Keep your audience in mind. Remember that this is a formal essay, so use appropriate diction, grammar, and point of view. Keep your eye on the clock and pace yourself.
