Writing
Writing
- Plain style - writing with few and short words. Makes complicated things easier to understand, eliminates clutter.
- Official style - many long words and sentences, makes even simple concepts hard to grasp. Easy to bury bad ideas under a mess of writing.
- Introduction - begins with a broad theme and narrows to a thesis
- Thesis - effect and meaning only, include all goals
- Body paragraphs - topic sentence must have something to do with the thesis, at least three pieces of evidence, quotes integrated
- Conclusion - wrap up points, So what?
Great job. You summarized pretty much everything Holmes usually says before we write. One thing you don't mention though is the difference between the AP approach to open prompts and closed prompts.
ReplyDeleteGreat work with this one. It is right to the point about what it takes to have a good essay. I feel you could have been a little bit more descriptive under the writing structure section though, just seems very vague to me.
