I emailed you some essay work about an hour ago.

 

essay – 3 parts

 

1.   Introductory paragraph -opener, introduced the essay,

lets the reader know what they will be reading about

a.    Grabber

b.   Thesis statement – same job as Topic Sentence for a paragraph: gives topic, gives the controlling idea

Topic + Controlling idea = Thesis statement

c.    Preview of the three points

 

2.   Body paragraphs

1.   Topic sentence

Supporting sentences

2.   Topic sentence

Supporting sentences

3.   Topic sentence

Supporting sentences

 

 

3.   Concluding paragraph – restatement – same ideas,

different words

 

                           Restate the Thesis statement

                           Restate the three points

                  End with a Clincher (like a grabber, comes at the

end)

 

Grabber – optional attention getting device at the beginning of

a paragraph or essay

a.     General to specific-

e.g. There are many ways to get around the city, from bus to skateboard. However, cycling is the most efficient way.

b.    Fact or statistic

e.g. In Vancouver, about 70% of people drive cars, and about 15% of people ride bicycles. These numbers should be switched because cycling is a great means of personal transportation.

New topic: According to Statistics Canada, 30% of Canadians are newcomers.

 

c.     Anecdote

e.g. I have riding my bicycle several times a week for the past 35 years. It is an excellent means of transportation

d.    Historical

e.g. Modern bicycles were invented about 100 years ago. Since then they have become excellent means of personal transportation.

e.    Question?

Can you ride a bicycle?

f.      Adage, idiom, expression

e.g.  ??

g.     Famous quotation from famous person

Robert Frost said, “There is nothing more pleasurable than riding a bicycle down a country lane.”

 

Choose one. Choose the one that seems to best suit the topic.

 

That’s a lot of information for one day. We’ll keep working on it

all week. It will become clearer day by day. You’ll get it!
