EF5/6 Essay review

essay - multi-paragraph writing
five-paragraph essay


Introductory paragraph

- preview of the points (optional)

Three body paragraphs
Para 1

Para 2

Para 3

Concluding paragraph - restatement of thesis statement, points

What I was looking for:
-structure, organization 
A disorganized essay won't be a success.
-quality of sentences 
SIMPLE, COMPOUND, COMPLEX
- grammar to focus on
punc , ; ,
vt verb tense
vf verb form
for the future - phrasing, natural-sounding English, leaving behind that translation from your mother language
