*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

-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
