This document provides guidance on how to structure texts. It recommends including a title, introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should catch the reader's interest and introduce the topic. The body is the main part and should use paragraphs about separate topics with linking words. The conclusion should summarize the main points or call for action. The document also discusses how to plan writing with a mind map and the different types of texts like argumentative, discussion, and summary essays.

How to Write a Analytical Essay
Writing an analytical essay can seem daunting, especially if you've never done it before. Don't
worry! Take a deep breath, buy yourself a caffeinated beverage, and follow these steps to create
a well-crafted analytical essay.
What do you want to analyze?
Your analysis must have the following four sections:
Introduction
Summary
Analysis
Conclusion (optional)
Part 1: Prewriting your essay
1. Understand the objective of an analytical essay. An analytical essay means you will
need to present some type of argument, or claim, about what you are analyzing. Most
often you will have to analyze another piece of writing or a film, but you could also be
asked to analyze an issue, or an idea. To do this, you must break the topic down into parts
and provide evidence, either from the text/film or from your own research, that supports
your claim.
For example, "Stanley Kubrick's The Shining uses a repeating motif of Native American
culture and art to comment on America's history of colonizing Native Americans' lands" is an
analytical thesis. It is analyzing a particular text and setting forth an argument about it in the
form of a thesis statement.
2. Decide what to write about. If you are writing this for a class, your teacher will
generally assign you a topic (or topics) to write about. Read the prompt carefully. What is
the prompt asking you to do? However, sometimes you will have to come up with your
own topic.
If you're writing an analytical essay about a work of fiction, you could focus your
argument on what motivates a specific character or group of characters. Or, you could
argue why a certain line or paragraph is central to the work as a whole. For example:
Explore the concept of vengeance in the epic poem Beowulf.
If you're writing about a historical event, try focusing on the forces that contributed to
what happened.
If you're writing about scientific research or findings, analyze your results.
2
3. Brainstorm. You may not immediately know what your thesis statement should be, even
once you've chosen your topic. That's okay! Doing some brainstorming can help you
discover what you think about your topic. Consider it from as many angles as you can.
[2]
Look for repeated imagery, metaphors, phrases, or ideas. Things that repeat are often
important. See if you can decipher why these things are so crucial. Do they repeat in the
same way each time, or differently?
How does the text work? If you're writing a rhetorical analysis, for example, you might
analyze how the author uses logical appeals to support her argument and decide whether
you think the argument is effective. If you're analyzing a creative work, consider things
like imagery, visuals in a film, etc. If you're analyzing research, you may want to
consider the methods and results and analyze whether the experiment is a good design.
A mind map can be hel ...
Length No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more.docxsmile790243
Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or
2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and
1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page.
Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also
proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal
tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the
disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a
clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the
original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please
include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word
count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social
theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social
theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation
with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to
explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you
understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the
social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things
like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of
features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in
romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The
easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are
personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ☺ ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this
quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are
welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined to do so.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING
1. Once you’ve chosen your area of focus, write down some general ideas for yourself about
how you understand it. For example, if you’ve picked the school-to-prison pipeline, you
can sketch out a general statement of what you already know about it, where you learned
what you know, and what questions you still have.
2. Pick which three theorists you are going to use.
3. From each theorist, choose three concepts, terms, or theories. Since we talked about ...

How to write successful essays for History 1302
Different Types of Essays
In your history courses you might write different types of essays.
Most of them involve description of events, discussion of ideas, summarization of information, and analysis or evaluation.
Analysis might involve classifying, comparing and contrasting, explaining causes and effects, exploring a topic's history, or describing a process.
Or, you might be asked to write an essay that explains the effects of something: the effects of a war, of a law, of a social movement.
Sometimes you may need to take a stan.

The Three-Part Topic Proposal for Research
Save this file to your computer; type in your responses for each of the three areas below, and then upload your work by the deadline using the dropbox in Module 11.
Step 1:Explanation
Write a one-paragraph explanation. (This is not an introductory paragraph for the paper.) This should be an explanation of your focused topic and what you hope to prove to your reader through your analysis.
Step 2:Working Thesis
Really think about what you wrote in the explanation and pull it together by creating a working thesis. You will likely continue to revise and edit this thesis. Remember: A THESIS should include the focused topic plus your assertion about the significance of that topic. It should be argumentative in nature, since it is an opinion that you will prove through a close analysis of the details of the text.
Step 3: Tentative Outline
Now create a tentative outline for your working thesis. In other words, how will you break up your body paragraphs to prove or support the thesis?
Assignment:
APPROACH #2:
Another approach would be to expand on an idea addressed briefly in one of your discussion posts. Remember, you'll need to create a focused thesis statement. The prompts below can be used to create an assertion that you could then prove in your body paragraphs through a close analysis of the primary source (the work we studied) and through support from your secondary sources (literary criticism).
Edgar Allan Poe - "The Fall of the House of Usher"
Analyze the use of parallels or mirror images in this story. How does this kind of imagery support a thematic idea running throughout the story?
· SOURCES: You must use a minimum of THREE secondary sources. You will cite the work you are analyzing, of course, but it is a primary source. Therefore, you will have a minimum of FOUR sources listed on your Works Cited page. At least ONE of your secondary sources must be an article from a scholarly journal accessed via an LSCS library database. You must not use Cliffs Notes or Bloom's Notes or the like, basic dictionaries or encyclopedias, or any plot summaries. You should select reputable sources of literary criticism that help you prove your thesis. If, in addition to these minimum source requirements, you would like to briefly cite a source such as The Bible or a specialized dictionary - that is fine. If in doubt about the quality of a source, ask me or a reference librarian. An essay that does not meet the minimum source requirements will earn an automatic F.
· LENGTH: The essay must be 3-4 textual pages (not including the Works Cited page). The essay must follow MLA manuscript form guidelines stated in the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook. The text of the essay must be 3 full textual pages, meaning it will reach the bottom, one-inch margin on the third page of a correctly formatted Word document. An essay that does not meet the minimum length requirements will earn an automatic F. Plea ...

Essays hold a special place in the realm of written expression. They serve as a platform for delving into a specific subject, exploring its nuances, and conveying insights. In the context of English class, essays serve as a tool to showcase your comprehension and analysis of studied texts. These compositions involve identifying, dissecting, and forming conclusions about the components that shape the text, ultimately influencing the reader's response.
The scope of essays is expansive, covering a wide range of texts such as novels, short stories, movies, documentaries, and graphic novels. Each essay provides an opportunity to engage deeply with the material and share your unique perspective.
When crafting analytical essays, the primary objective is to construct an argument that responds to a specific question or presents an interpretation of the studied text. This process entails more than just summarizing the content; it involves a meticulous examination of the text's features and an astute analysis of their impact on the reader's perception.
Let's embark on a journey through the key steps that comprise the essay-writing process, along with some insightful tips to guide you in planning, drafting, and producing essays during your secondary school years.
Introduction: Setting the Stage
The introduction of an essay serves as its foundation, capturing the reader's attention and laying out the trajectory of your argument. It is your opportunity to establish the context, introduce the text you will be discussing, and provide a clear roadmap for what lies ahead. A well-crafted introduction should contain:
A brief overview of the text or topic you will be analyzing.
The central thesis or argument that your essay will revolve around.
A hint at the key points you will address in the body of the essay.
Remember, an engaging introduction sets the tone for your essay and entices the reader to delve further into your analysis.
Body: In-Depth Exploration
The body of your essay serves as the core where your analysis unfolds. Each paragraph within the body focuses on a distinct aspect of your argument, supporting it with evidence from the text. To structure your body effectively:
Devote each paragraph to a single point or theme.
Begin with a topic sentence that introduces the focus of the paragraph.
Provide evidence from the text to support your point, including direct quotes or paraphrases.
Offer insightful analysis of the evidence, explaining its significance in relation to your argument.
Connect each point back to your thesis, demonstrating how they collectively reinforce your overarching message.
A cohesive and organized body strengthens the coherence of your essay, ensuring that your analysis is structured and logical.
Conclusion: Culmination and Reflection
The conclusion is your opportunity to tie together the threads of your analysis and leave a lasting

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. INTRODUCTION
Catch the reader’s interest.
Introduce the topic you will deal with in the body.
Give background information (if necessary).
Examples:
Include quotes
An extraordinary statement
Quote someone
Humour (if appropriate for the topic)
Ask questions (but don’t forget to answer them in the body or conclusion)
3
4. BODY
This is the main part of your essay.
Use paragraphs
One “topic” in each paragraph
Examples to clarify
Use linking words to make smooth transitions between the paragraphs: however, in
addition to, further, since, due to, first, secondly, thirdly etc.
4
5. CONCLUSION
This is the last section of your essay. There are some different ways
to end an essay:
Summarize the main points you have made in the body.
Conlusion: a final thought on the topic which allows you to give your summarized
opinion on the topic dealt with in the paragraph.
Call for action: because of the things you presented in the body, you now want
someone to do something.
Answer questions presented in the introduction.
It is a good idea to have the conclusion connect to the introduction.
Never introduce new ideas/facts in the conclusion.
5
6. PLAN YOUR WRITING
Before you start writing, it is a good idea to plan your text. To do this it might be a good idea
to use a mind map.
In the example below you can see a mind map for an argumentative essay for the death
penalty.
When you start writing, it will be easier to get a good structure. Each circle in the mind map is
one paragraph.
6
Death
penalty
Economy (the
cost of life in
prison vs.
death)
Deterrence
Counter
argument
(with reasons
against it)
An eye for an
eye
(retribution)
7. THREE TYPES OF TEXTS
Argumentative essay:
You choose a “side” and argue for it.
Do not seem unsure! It will not make you convincing.
Include facts and source references.
Discussion essay:
Discuss different aspects of a topic.
You don’t have choose a “side”.
Include examples and your own experiences if you like.
Summary:
Short text which deals with the main points of something you have read or heard.
No opinions.
Always shorter than the original text.
Refer to the original source (author, title, magazine/book/website).
