Five paragraph essay

Reflection of Writing Having to revise an essay is never easy, especially if one thinks their essay is “perfect” already, but that is exactly what Professor Michael Martin made his English 366 class do for their final portfolio. The task of picking the essays was one of the most challenging parts of creating the final portfolio, because I was unsure how to tackle an essay rewrite, and I was afraid that the improvements I would make would bring down my essays instead of enhancing them. After…

For the argumentative essay, there was no need for additional research. We kept the same topic, so I was able to simply utilize the same sources from the expository essay. This is why I initially believed it was going to be an easy process. While going into the essay, my first priority was learning how to use the Toulmin method. The Toulmin method was difficult since I had never used it before, therefore I was prepared to do some research on it before I began writing. Upon learning some aspects…

documented by all the intermediary assignments leading up to the final version of Essay 1. Formulating a valid argument about the spice trade – a topic difficult to relate to – was not an easy task for me. I originally struggled coming up with an idea for my thesis despite extensive brainstorming. When writing the thesis, I instinctively reverted back to my old high school habits and wrote it in a five-paragraph structure. Moreover, I failed to include a reason why what I say matters. At this…

Throughout high school, my written assignments were almost always a five-paragraph structure or, in other words, a "keyhole essay." As a first-year business major student, I have not been assigned written assignments since high school so I never realized the negatives of a keyhole essay; It simplifies a lot of the topic by narrowing it down to three main paragraphs with evidence. Writing a basic five-paragraph assignment limits a lot of important information no matter how broad the topic is. I…

having transitions and five sentences per paragraph I assumed to be true. In high school my english teacher would drop our grade down two letter grades if transitions were not included in our essay. This experience was one that stuck with me. Personally, I believe certain paragraphs can be effective without transitions. Also, I believe that not every paragraoh needs five sentences. Every paper or essay I have ever written it was declared it would not be counted without five sentence each.…

I know what a complex thesis should look like, but…

Although this assignment seemed dreadful, this essay made me realize how much was expected of me, and how far my writing was from those expectations. Throughout the course of the semester, my writing vastly improved, getting closer and closer to meeting expectations. The Discourse Community Essay was so close to those expectations, and the Informative Essay was right where I wanted it to be. In writing my…

the two concepts a few years ago. Now in college when I revisit these themes of life and read the articles about them in the book I can look at it in another way. In my first M1 essay I learned a lot of things about myself, mostly how I need to improve. In the first essay I learned that I need to improve my into paragraph a lot. It didn’t not even have a good hook, something to grab the reader’s attention. After the hook I had no transaction from the hook to my thesis, I started off about social…
