Interview

1) Introduction paragraph – who is being interviewed, his/her title, when they were interviewed, and the topic of the interview. 2) Body sections/ “interview” – written transcript of dialogue between interviewer and interviewee 3) Final paragraph – provide a finishing thought from the interviewer on the interview topic

Essay

 Introduction: ◦ 3-5 sentences ◦ Thesis = main idea. LAST SENTENCE  Body paragraphs (good idea to have three) ◦ Each body paragraph should start with a topic NOT an example. ◦ Examples (2 or 3) are included WITHIN the body paragraph ◦ Concluding sentence. DO NOT END your paragraph with an example/detail

 Conclusion: ◦ 3-5 sentences. 1 or 2 sentences DOES NOT = a conclusion ◦ Restate your main ideas (3 body paragraphs) in one sentence or a couple of sentences ◦ DO NOT ADD ANY DETAILS OR EXAMPLES that were not included in the body of your essay ◦ End your conclusion with a thought-provoking sentence

News Report

 First paragraph: ◦ Usually only one sentence long ◦ Tells very BRIEFLY the most important information (Who, What, When, Where, Why)  Next several paragraphs: ◦ More than one sentence each. ◦ Explain more details about the event that is being reported on ◦ What’s most important for a reader to know – goes closer to the beginning of the article ◦ What’s less important for the reader to know goes closer to the end

 Last paragraph: ◦ Least important/relevant details ◦ Newspapers DO NOT actually end like essays with a proper conclusion (AKA: don’t write “in conclusion”) Note: Newspaper reporters try to be objective, not biased in their writing, so think about whether you are writing something that is objective (i.e. “A crime was committed last night” NOT: “A horrible, nasty crime was committed by a felon last night”)
