Or, strategies for successful essay writing
Things to avoid in essay writing!
Write a creative title for your essay
Consider that the title is the first opportunity you have to inform your reader about the thesis of your essay
NEVER just write “Evaluation Essay”
Capitalize the title correctly
Format the essay with double-spacing and page numbers
FIRST THINGS FIRST
The purpose of an introduction is to:
engage the reader
provide background information
present the thesis
Unless necessary for contextualization, save the evidence to support your claims in the body paragraphs.
Don't serve the main meal at the same time as the appetizer!
Too many details in the introduction:
"Air travel is a form of travel in vehicles that can sustain flight". (Really? No kidding!)
Don't start your essay with a definition of what is probably unnecessary: obesity, global warming, cell phones, the internet, etc.
The purpose of simply taking up space is too obvious and wastes opportunity to craft useful sentences that further your essay.
ONLY use a definition if writing about something truly obscure.
Avoid Useless "definitions"
The trick to avoid these words: insert “as opposed to?”
Basically, very, really, literally, truly, personally (as opposed to...?)
Here is a link to a good page about writing concisely: http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/writing-concisely/
Using Words that Do Not Add Meaning
In this essay I will prove...
I will discuss...
As said in the previous paragraph….
As mentioned before...
Avoid these space fillers! Instead - just write what you are saying.
Don't waste space saying what you WILL write about or what you already wrote.
Example:
Wrong: In this essay I will argue that cell phones should not be used while drive.
Better: Cell phones should not be used while driving.
Announcing Yourself to the Reader
Did you ever get tired of reading essays with questions?
Do you think that these questions would be stronger written as statements?
Are all the questions necessary?
Do they engage the reader?
Especially in a repeating pattern: did you ever wonder, did you ever think, why is it that... blah blah blah?
STOP!
And if writing a question, remember to use a question mark when creating a question, even if it's a rhetorical question.
Rhetorical Questions
Avoid Pointing the Camera at Yourself:
I think, I believe, I feel, in my opinion...
Write what you think in a statement
The reader will know what you think by what you write.
ONLY use “I” when framing a direct response:
“I agree/concede/argue/claim…”
Remove yourself
You didn't actually write the paper, but you're really good at introducing other people's quotes!
Stringing them together is almost writing a paper, right?
Not quite!
The reader needs to hear your voice and your ideas that are supported by the evidence, not replaced by them.
After using a quote, be sure to explain how it supports the claim in the topic sentence and the thesis.
Don’t .
How to write and essay
The document provides guidance on developing an effective essay structure. It recommends beginning with a strong thesis statement that interprets the central topic or text.

The conclusion should refer back to the opening argument and thesis, summarizing main points and identifying any wider implications. Overall, the essay should have a logical structure, with analysis rather than just description of the text.

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.

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.

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
Essay structurepptx

Prewriting involves choosing a topic, determining the audience and purpose, exploring the topic, and making a plan. The writing stage is when a draft is composed. Revising is finding and correcting issues with content. Editing focuses on grammar, style, word choice, punctuation and "little picture" errors. Publishing releases the writing for others to read.
Writing Standards For Seventh Grade
The document outlines writing standards and genres for 7th grade students, including narratives, persuasive essays, summaries, and responses to literature. It provides guidance on the key elements and structure for each genre. Narratives should use descriptive details to show events and have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Persuasive essays must take a clear position and include arguments and counterarguments. Summaries should introduce the topic, discuss main ideas in brief paragraphs, and wrap up without a formal conclusion. Responses to literature analyze a text using a thesis and evidence from the story to support points.

Outline for Speech 2: Visual Aids
Topic
Choose a topic that you are interested in and that your audience might be interested in.
Format
This outline should be at least 3 pages in length and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points. Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. Usually use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]

4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]

Thesis Sentence:
The thesis sentence (addressed to the audience, not the instructor) summarizes everything the speaker intends to say during the speech. Place the label for the thesis sentence flush with the left margin.
The
introduction
should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic, offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech. The introduction (which may be outlined or written word-for-word) is designed to
gain the attention of the audience;
establish the speaker's credibility; and
orient the audience to the body of the speech.
Do not say “I will tell the story of ____,” or “I will do X, Y, or Z.” Actually outline or write the story here in the Introduction, such as “Have you ever found yourself repeating mistakes you have made before?” Actually outline or write the question here.
Enclose transitions within parentheses ( ) on a line or lines separate from the rest of the outline. Transitions may link major sections OR main ideas OR subordinate ideas within the body of the .

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

How to Make Excellent English for Private Tutors
- 1. How to Write Fantastic English A guide to all the fundamentals of terrific English writing, particularly useful for 10 – 18 year olds wanting to achieve top grades at school.
- 2. General Grammar Points Write primarily in Complex sentences, usually start those sentences with the subordinating conjunction Avoid over use of simple sentences; BUT, do use them occasionally for big impact statements Insert your sentences with a few parenthetic phrases / clauses
- 3. Three Writing Styles In secondary school academia we tend to group writing in to three categories: Creative, Persuasive and Descriptive (with sometimes poetry as an additional fourth). Really writing does not necessarily fall neatly in to these categories; nevertheless, they can be useful to us when we are learning good writing style
- 4. Creative Writing Creative Writing generally covers story telling. The following slides will give you some hints on how to do it well...
- 5. Creative Writing: Mission Objective Come up with a unique and exciting plot which has a beginning, middle and end (hero's journey) Express that plot in the most vivid language possible.
- 6. Creative Writing: Tips Go full throttle on literary devices and fancy vocabulary. It is absolutely fine here to be a bit whimsical. Study the Hero's Journey, a thorough understanding and modelling can make for great story structure.
- 7. Persuasive Writing When you want to make a point or convince people of a position, you are using Persuasive Writing
- 8. Persuasive Writing: Mission Objectives Put across a position so clear and succinct that even the most bone idle of troglodytes will see your point of view. Split your writing in to an introduction, middle and conclusion.
- 9. Persuasive Writing: Introduction Write a general purpose 'mood setter' that is in some (perhaps vague) way relates to your topic. Write a brief account of the background or history of the subject which will be relevant for readers to understand your later points. Out of the background elicit a rationale for arguing the subject at hand. State, in a clear fashion, what case you will argue. Briefly sum up the topics you will explore in order to support your position.
- 10. Formula for Excellently Made Points Point: Make the point you wish to make in a succinct and clear manner. Evidence: List some evidence which supports your point. Explain: Explain precisely how the evidence supports your point, and how the point supports your point of view. Go to some lengths to make this section extremely clear, spelling out relationships and leaving nothing implied. (optional) Link: Link back to the original question and suggest how this point fits in. (optional) Quote: Pepper your point with supportive quotes.
- 11. Formula for Great Conclusions Sum up the points covered in the essay. Draw together a picture from all the points which supports your point of view. Spend time here expressing how arguments fit together and weigh against each other. (optional) Suggest future scope for argument or research.
- 12. Descriptive Writing Newspaper articles, pamphlets, reports... These are all in the Descriptive Writing style. Descriptive writing is essentially whenever one must describe something to another person.
- 13. Descriptive Writing: Mission Objectives Write your work so that the person reading it comes away with a clear picture of what you are supposed to be describing. Make the writing interesting to read Have the writing speak to its intended audience, using language appropriate to them
- 14. Descriptive Writing Tips Decide which areas need to go in to detail and which to breeze over. Good detail in the right areas is of paramount importance. Make clever use of the literary devices; however, use them way more sparingly than you would with creative writing.
- 15. Tips on Great Word Usage Fill your writing with lots of adverbs Fill writing with lots of adjectives For the more descriptive clauses use adverb – adjective combos: 'beautifully cold' 'desperately hungry' (nice opportunity for oxymoron) Use conjunctive adverbs to give flowing and an elite feel: 'nevertheless', 'furthermore', 'consequently' Whenever possible use a more specific word. E.g. 'run' becomes 'sprint' 'House' becomes 'bungalow' 'eat' becomes 'scoff'
- 16. When appropriate, include the following literary devices (there are more, but this is a great starter list): Simile (Perfect for Creative Writing or Poetry) Metaphor (Perfect for Creative Writing or Poetry) Alliteration Onomatopoeia Personification or Pathetic Fallacy
- 17. Literary Devices - Continued Oxymoron Rhetorical Question (Great for Persuasive) Assonance Hyperbole Syllepsis
- 18. Some General Tips For Great Writing Always use the bare minimum of words; if you can say something equally well with 3 words or 4 words then use 3 words. Use the minimum syllables possible. (note – never compromise on content, if cutting down words and syllables affects content don't do it)
