5-paragraph essays typically consist of an introductory
paragraph, three supporting body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
Introductory paragraph
Body paragraph 1- Reason 1
Body paragraph 2- Reason 2
Body paragraph 3- Reason 3
Concluding paragraph
The introductory paragraph should give a preview of what’s
to come without giving it away. Each body paragraph should have supporting
information, such as stories, facts, statistics, and more. The concluding
paragraph should summarize the key points.
This is like following a recipe. I think about writing like
cooking. A beginner writer has to follow a recipe very closely. When you get
some experience cooking, you don’t need the recipe book anymore.
When you get comfortable writing essay after 3-4 tries, then
you can follow your own style.
The style that I am teaching is very basic and clear. It is
simple and ‘easy’ to do. You can get fancier with your essays later.
There are lots of different kinds of essays.
Plan first!
Then write.
1.PREWRITING – planning your essay, making a little plan to
organize what you want to say in each paragraph in your essay
2.WRITING- actually writing the sentences and paragraphs
