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

Is intelligence a unitary ability, or are there multiple intelligences?
Answer: Multiple intelligences (must choose ONLY ONE theory and support it so I choose Gardner’s theory)- because the essay has to be based on the essay plan
Also, must give counter argument for those who criticize Gardner’s theory because he is not a science guy and Gardner keeps changing his idea of how many multiple intelligences exist.

Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Sta.docx
Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Stacie Vesolich, and I will be your instructor for this course. I commend you for enrolling in this course as a path to furthering your academic goals, and I will make every effort to help you to achieve success in your writing endeavors. Let me begin by highlighting several key points of this course:
Essentials of English Composition 101
8 Modules and a Final Research Paper
There are 8 modules, culminating with a final research paper as the exam.
Each module is different, and it is very important that you read the instructions for every module.
The beginning module requires you to do several writing, practice exercises. This is mandatory, even though the practice exercises are not graded.
The modules start out relatively easy (a descriptive essay and a narrative essay that are written on your firsthand experiences and do not require any writing citations.)
Be advised that the modules build on each other, progressively becoming more difficult.
As your instructor, I have 3 days ( per module) to grade your work. My response to your essay submissions usually does not take three days, although I am granted that amount of time.
Read, Write, Submit, Wait
English courses require that the writer addresses the writing prompt. This can only be done if the writer carefully reads the specific directions.
After you submit your essay, wait for the remarks and critique before submitting another module.
In some instances, you may be required to submit a revision of your essay.
The option to do a revision on the submitted essay is your choice, but is to your advantage.
Progression of Difficulty
Each writing module develops a specific skill and the level of difficulty of these writing skills increases as the course progresses.
Be sure to carefully read all of the instructions and view any videos that apply to the module.
Always address the writing prompt: This is the specific instructional requirement for the essay.
Research and Sources
For this course, when you present information that is based on research that you have reviewed and studied, you must provide two types of sources:
1) Parenthetical or in-text citations For example: (Smith 22)
2) A works cited page that is in alphabetical order.
3) I will use an electronic scan to verify that the work submitted is your original work, or work that has been properly cited.
Remember that you have signed an honesty agreement about the work that you will submit.

Annotating & Summarizing
So that your reader can, like, understand what you are talking about
Structure of the Research Paper
Intro
Sets up and develops the major (overall) claim of the paper
Major claim: last few sentences of paragraph
Body Paragraphs
Topic sentences: sub-claims
Uses evidence to support the sub-claim
Conclusion
Articulates the implications (or stakes) of the research
Uses analysis to explain how the evidence supports the sub-claim
Connects paragraphs to show how the major claim develops
Connects the claim to a larger context
Can ask new questions or suggest ideas for further research
Body Paragraphs
Argument
Summarize relevant research
Analyze and interpret the research
Annotating Scholarly Articles
STEP 1: BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Establish your purpose
Imagine the writing situation
Skim and scan – headings, visuals, footnotes, references
Pre-reading gives you a lot of information right off the bat!
STEP 2: GET A TASTE OF THE ARGUMENT
Read the abstract
Read the first and last sentence of paragraphs
Read the conclusion
What have you learned about this article thus far?
STEP 3: READ THE TEXT
Annotate
Read ACTIVELY
Use your pen!
Circle, underline, star
Look up words
Leave marginal comments
Have a conversation with the text!
Step 4: After reading
Annotation Matrix
Write a summary
Reflect: How will you write about this source strategically for the paper?
Don’t assume you’ll remember later: leave yourself a trail of clues!
Summary Definition
A summary is an objective, condensed, accurate description of an original work (an article, essay, report, etc)
Think of your audience! They know nothing and you know everything: teach them!
Use your own words
Main arguments, main supporting ideas, and main analyses
The summary is specific and precise
NO personal opinion
Be strategic: the summary precedes your analysis in the research paper
USE YOUR OWN WORDS
Copying and pasting the same words without citing them = plagiarism
Using just a few of the same words without citing them = plagiarism
Changing a few words and keeping the sentence structure in tact = plagiarism
Changing every other word by replacing them with synonyms = plagiarism
Step 1
Read slowly and carefully, annotating as you read.
main arguments
main pieces of evidence
main analyses
how the writer develops their argument
stakes/implications
keywords
Step 2
Outline the text in a short, bullet-point list.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS in the outline to prevent plagiarism
Outline in chronological order: write out the main ideas in each paragraph, going in the order they were written
Only write out the main, major, or central ideas, arguments, analyses, and pieces of evidence
Make decisions about what’s most important to get across to your reader
Step 3
Turn your outline into a narrative summary
Write a first draft from your outline.
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft Purpose The purpose of.docx
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft
Purpose:
The purpose of this final draft is to finish the paper you have been working on throughout the course by adding a conclusion and an abstract.
Description:
In this assignment, you will assemble the final draft of your Research Paper you have been working on throughout the course. Your Research Paper Final Draft should include the elements listed below.
Elements:
The grade of your Research Paper Final Draft is largely based on your inclusion of these elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your paper must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You should include an APA-style cover page for your Research Paper. See the example on page 16 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should include the following: the title of your paper, your name, and the name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Abstract:
The abstract is a 150-250 word summary of your Research Paper, and it should be written only after you have finished writing the entire paper because how your abstract is worded largely depends on the development of your paper. Your abstract should be accurate, self-contained, concise and specific, non-evaluative, coherent, and readable. Your abstract may be modeled after the theoretical paper model or empirical study model. For information or an example of an abstract, see p. 12 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition) and p. 511 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Note that the abstract presented references MLA, but yours should be in APA style. The abstract should be the second page in the paper, after the cover page, and the abstract should be on its own page. The text of the paper itself should begin on page 3. Your abstract must meet the following standards:
• Be 150-250 words • Be located on the second page of your final draft • Have a heading of Abstract that is centered at the top of the page.
3. Introduction:
There are some pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, and you can avoid some of them by reading through the Checklist: “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers.
4. Review of literature:
The review of literature should be a smooth transition from the introduction of your paper and should present a controlled summary of the conversation surrounding your topic.
5. Body paragraphs:
Each paragraph of the body of your Research Paper should be a cohesive unit. It should be tight, but developed. It should serve a function, and its purpose should always be to bolster the thesis. Therefore, you should use the following order for each paragraph in the body.
a. Topic sentence: This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it dir ...

Tips to write a compare and contrast essay
First of all, do not get scared. It is not that frightening as it might seem at first. You choose two objects, which are similar at some point, for example, two cartoon characters taken out of the same famous TV-show, which at the same time, are different due to their values, for instance.
For against ESSAYS (adapted from Ivan Conte's presentation)
For and against essays discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a topic through an introduction, main body, and conclusion. The introduction presents the topic without opinion. The main body has two paragraphs, one arguing for and one against with examples and justifications. The conclusion restates the topic and includes the writer's opinion. The essay should be written formally without strong language or opinions except in the conclusion. Topic sentences introduce each main body paragraph, followed by supporting examples. Quotations, rhetorical questions, and summaries can be used at the beginning or end for effect.

Writing the draft
The document provides guidance on writing the draft of an essay. It recommends creating a title that reflects the topic and is attention-grabbing. The draft should have a fully developed introduction with a thesis statement, body paragraphs with topic sentences and examples supporting the thesis, and a conclusion that restates the main point without introducing new ideas. Effective editing and revising of the draft is important to developing a coherent essay.
Expository Essay PowerPoint_russellrodrigo
The document defines expository writing as presenting reasons, explanations, or steps in a process in an informational manner. An expository essay should follow a logical sequence with three main points and focus on logic and coherence. Expository writing does not tell a story or persuade, but rather provides facts. It can also outline steps in a process. An effective expository essay includes an introductory paragraph with a thesis, three body paragraphs each focusing on a main point and providing evidence, and a concluding paragraph that restates the main points.
Guideline to composition writing
The document provides guidelines for composition writing for B1/B2/C1 level classes. It discusses the key parts of a composition, including the introduction, supporting paragraphs, and summary paragraph.

Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Sta.docx
Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Stacie Vesolich, and I will be your instructor for this course. I commend you for enrolling in this course as a path to furthering your academic goals, and I will make every effort to help you to achieve success in your writing endeavors. Let me begin by highlighting several key points of this course:
Essentials of English Composition 101
8 Modules and a Final Research Paper
There are 8 modules, culminating with a final research paper as the exam.
Each module is different, and it is very important that you read the instructions for every module.
The beginning module requires you to do several writing, practice exercises. This is mandatory, even though the practice exercises are not graded.
The modules start out relatively easy (a descriptive essay and a narrative essay that are written on your firsthand experiences and do not require any writing citations.)
Be advised that the modules build on each other, progressively becoming more difficult.
As your instructor, I have 3 days ( per module) to grade your work. My response to your essay submissions usually does not take three days, although I am granted that amount of time.
Read, Write, Submit, Wait
English courses require that the writer addresses the writing prompt. This can only be done if the writer carefully reads the specific directions.
After you submit your essay, wait for the remarks and critique before submitting another module.
In some instances, you may be required to submit a revision of your essay.
The option to do a revision on the submitted essay is your choice, but is to your advantage.
Progression of Difficulty
Each writing module develops a specific skill and the level of difficulty of these writing skills increases as the course progresses.
Be sure to carefully read all of the instructions and view any videos that apply to the module.
Always address the writing prompt: This is the specific instructional requirement for the essay.
Research and Sources
For this course, when you present information that is based on research that you have reviewed and studied, you must provide two types of sources:
1) Parenthetical or in-text citations For example: (Smith 22)
2) A works cited page that is in alphabetical order.
3) I will use an electronic scan to verify that the work submitted is your original work, or work that has been properly cited.
Remember that you have signed an honesty agreement about the work that you will submit.

Annotating & Summarizing
So that your reader can, like, understand what you are talking about
Structure of the Research Paper
Intro
Sets up and develops the major (overall) claim of the paper
Major claim: last few sentences of paragraph
Body Paragraphs
Topic sentences: sub-claims
Uses evidence to support the sub-claim
Conclusion
Articulates the implications (or stakes) of the research
Uses analysis to explain how the evidence supports the sub-claim
Connects paragraphs to show how the major claim develops
Connects the claim to a larger context
Can ask new questions or suggest ideas for further research
Body Paragraphs
Argument
Summarize relevant research
Analyze and interpret the research
Annotating Scholarly Articles
STEP 1: BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Establish your purpose
Imagine the writing situation
Skim and scan – headings, visuals, footnotes, references
Pre-reading gives you a lot of information right off the bat!
STEP 2: GET A TASTE OF THE ARGUMENT
Read the abstract
Read the first and last sentence of paragraphs
Read the conclusion
What have you learned about this article thus far?
STEP 3: READ THE TEXT
Annotate
Read ACTIVELY
Use your pen!
Circle, underline, star
Look up words
Leave marginal comments
Have a conversation with the text!
Step 4: After reading
Annotation Matrix
Write a summary
Reflect: How will you write about this source strategically for the paper?
Don’t assume you’ll remember later: leave yourself a trail of clues!
Summary Definition
A summary is an objective, condensed, accurate description of an original work (an article, essay, report, etc)
Think of your audience! They know nothing and you know everything: teach them!
Use your own words
Main arguments, main supporting ideas, and main analyses
The summary is specific and precise
NO personal opinion
Be strategic: the summary precedes your analysis in the research paper
USE YOUR OWN WORDS
Copying and pasting the same words without citing them = plagiarism
Using just a few of the same words without citing them = plagiarism
Changing a few words and keeping the sentence structure in tact = plagiarism
Changing every other word by replacing them with synonyms = plagiarism
Step 1
Read slowly and carefully, annotating as you read.
main arguments
main pieces of evidence
main analyses
how the writer develops their argument
stakes/implications
keywords
Step 2
Outline the text in a short, bullet-point list.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS in the outline to prevent plagiarism
Outline in chronological order: write out the main ideas in each paragraph, going in the order they were written
Only write out the main, major, or central ideas, arguments, analyses, and pieces of evidence
Make decisions about what’s most important to get across to your reader
Step 3
Turn your outline into a narrative summary
Write a first draft from your outline.
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft Purpose The purpose of.docx
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft
Purpose:
The purpose of this final draft is to finish the paper you have been working on throughout the course by adding a conclusion and an abstract.
Description:
In this assignment, you will assemble the final draft of your Research Paper you have been working on throughout the course. Your Research Paper Final Draft should include the elements listed below.
Elements:
The grade of your Research Paper Final Draft is largely based on your inclusion of these elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your paper must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You should include an APA-style cover page for your Research Paper. See the example on page 16 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should include the following: the title of your paper, your name, and the name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Abstract:
The abstract is a 150-250 word summary of your Research Paper, and it should be written only after you have finished writing the entire paper because how your abstract is worded largely depends on the development of your paper. Your abstract should be accurate, self-contained, concise and specific, non-evaluative, coherent, and readable. Your abstract may be modeled after the theoretical paper model or empirical study model. For information or an example of an abstract, see p. 12 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition) and p. 511 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Note that the abstract presented references MLA, but yours should be in APA style. The abstract should be the second page in the paper, after the cover page, and the abstract should be on its own page. The text of the paper itself should begin on page 3. Your abstract must meet the following standards:
• Be 150-250 words • Be located on the second page of your final draft • Have a heading of Abstract that is centered at the top of the page.
3. Introduction:
There are some pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, and you can avoid some of them by reading through the Checklist: “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers.
4. Review of literature:
The review of literature should be a smooth transition from the introduction of your paper and should present a controlled summary of the conversation surrounding your topic.
5. Body paragraphs:
Each paragraph of the body of your Research Paper should be a cohesive unit. It should be tight, but developed. It should serve a function, and its purpose should always be to bolster the thesis. Therefore, you should use the following order for each paragraph in the body.
a. Topic sentence: This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it dir ...
Proposal and assessment
This document provides instructions for writing a proposal for a commercial music essay. The proposal should include:
1. A research question and brief explanation of the question in 200 words.
2. Contextual background information on the topic in 500 words using APA referencing style.
3. The proposed structure of the 4000-word essay in 300 words, outlining the main sections and sub-headings.
4. A bibliography of sources following APA style guidelines.
The proposal aims to demonstrate the student's knowledge of the topic and research materials as well as their ability to write in an academic format. It will form the basis for the full essay to be written.
Advice on academic writing
The document provides advice to students on academic writing at the university level. It discusses developing an argument with a clear thesis, structuring essays with topic sentences and well-organized paragraphs. General writing tips include starting early, extensive revision, and proofreading. When researching, the document advises taking detailed notes and using sources critically to form your own analysis. It also reviews techniques like skimming, scanning, and summarizing to aid comprehension of academic texts.
Tips to write a compare and contrast essay
First of all, do not get scared. It is not that frightening as it might seem at first. You choose two objects, which are similar at some point, for example, two cartoon characters taken out of the same famous TV-show, which at the same time, are different due to their values, for instance.
For against ESSAYS (adapted from Ivan Conte's presentation)
For and against essays discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a topic through an introduction, main body, and conclusion. The introduction presents the topic without opinion. The main body has two paragraphs, one arguing for and one against with examples and justifications. The conclusion restates the topic and includes the writer's opinion. The essay should be written formally without strong language or opinions except in the conclusion. Topic sentences introduce each main body paragraph, followed by supporting examples. Quotations, rhetorical questions, and summaries can be used at the beginning or end for effect.
University of toronto

Good introductions provide context and indicate the essay's focus, while strong conclusions provide closure and encourage further thought. When writing, students are advised to understand the essay topic, outline their ideas, and ensure unity within and between paragraphs. Revising and editing are important final steps to refine the essay.
