For the most part,
poeple have been keeping up on the work:
doing the homework,
doing the quizzes and tests, getting here on time, participating in class.
In classes, you don’t
want to fall behind. Keep up on the work.

eat it, too." direct speech “ “
My
mother once interpreted it for me, and she told me that it meant you cannot
have everything. COMPOUND COMPLEX
My
mother once interpreted it for me, telling me that it meant you cannot have
everything.
For example,

There’s
definitely something wrong with the logic of the illustration if you
consider it carefully.

I have often
wondered why it has to be that way, but it may be true. REORDER
It may be true, but
I have often wondered why it has to be that way.
6. When you think
about the illustration of the cake, it doesn’t make sense.
The illustration of
the cake doesn’t make sense when you think about it. NATURAL-SOUNDING
illustration- explanation,
example, drawing(not in this case)
When you think
about it, being organized is less work than being disorganized.
I never really
thought about it.

*The writer chose
to not start with a grabber. Starting with a grabber is a good idea.
Possible grabbers:
ask a question, short anecdote, fact or statistic, history, etc.
Model Essay 1- same topic “Man’s Best Friend”
-almost three times as long, not five times, not 10 pp
-divided into paragraphs, five paragraphs
*The five-paragraph is the basic essay model
**
An essay has three sections (five paragraphs):
**
1.
Introductory paragraph – usually one paragraph,
introduces the topic, thesis statement, and main points of the essay
2.
Body paragraphs– usually several paragraphs- 2,3,4,5
paragraphs (3 is the magic number for a standard five-paragraph), discussion,
explanation, description of the main points of the essay
3.
Concluding paragraph- usually one paragraph, restatement
of the introduction, restates the topic, thesis and main points, ends with a
clincher (like a grabber only at the end of the piece)
Length -300-350 words, not too long, short compact
paragraphs, more than twice, almost three times as long as one paragraph, not a
book
