Essay Topic
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.

Advice on academic writing
This document provides advice on various aspects of academic writing such as planning and organizing an essay, conducting research and reading, writing paragraphs, and using topic sentences. Some key points include:
- When organizing an essay, consider the type and genre and structure the argument based on advancing your own thesis rather than reproducing source material.
- Index cards, computers, and mind maps are alternatives to linear notetaking that provide greater flexibility in organizing ideas.
- Topic sentences state the main point of each paragraph and help guide the reader through the argument.
- Critical reading involves analyzing how authors develop and support their arguments rather than just extracting facts.
- Taking clear and categorized notes aids writing by helping to efficiently process and review

The standard structure for academic texts includes an introduction presenting the topic and argument, a body section developing and discussing the argument through analysis and results, and a conclusion summarizing the main points. Academic writing involves posing a question or problem and answering it through informed argumentation to inform, argue a position, or persuade. Features of academic texts include complexity, formality, precision, objectivity, explicitness, accuracy, hedging, and responsibility in making and justifying claims.
Paragraph structure
The document discusses the structure of paragraphs, explaining that paragraphs typically have three parts: an introduction (topic sentence), body (supporting details), and conclusion.

Supporting sentences then elaborate on this idea with examples, evidence, and explanations. Finally, the concluding sentence ties everything back to the main point. The document emphasizes the importance of coherence, with clear connections between each sentence within the logical flow of the paragraph.
