Five paragraph essay

required to write much throughout high school and what I did write was formulaic and lacking substance. I am not used to giving original ideas or organizing beyond the five paragraph essay. My teachers would tell us students what to write during a “class discussion” and then send us to work. Writing outside the basic five-paragraph essay was taboo; each attempt…

What constitutes these essays as some the best American essays throughout the century? The most important criteria of a good essay is capturing the reader’s attention with a strong introduction…

necessary to avoid the issue of plagiarism. My audience’s understanding is very important to me, so a legitimate works cited page is vital when I format my essay. This advancement in my documentation helped me achieve a grade of a 91, which represented a positive reinforcement of my progress. The last paper I completed in class was an argument essay. I found it difficult to write about my topic due to my dispassionate outlook. This attitude of mine had a huge impact on my paper’s final grade;…

It's always fun to write an essay about the meaning of writing. The chapter we read, called What Is “Academic” Writing? by L. Lennie Irvin really drill down the thoughts and guide us to what writing can be. I thought writing is a response. We write become we have a response or a reaction to something. You can start off with a sentence onto a paragraph and eventually to an essay. Writing can be very lovely but is there such thing as perfect writing? It seems that everyone has a different mean to…

reflected that. When reviewing the syllabus for this course, prior to the semester, the sound of five pages essays really made me sick to my stomach. At the time, I wanted to possibly try to just skip the class somehow, but instead, I decided just to get it over with already. This was probably the best choice that I’ve made this semester. My writing skills have really evolved into what they are today. Each essay along with the diverse prompts really surrounded me with new knowledge and…

this semester I have developed in many ways in my writing and I’ve been able to recognize and learn from my mistakes. There are five major areas that I was graded on with each of my essays. Those five areas are unity, development, coherence, grammar/-spelling/punctuation, and overall. Out of those five areas I had two strengths that was consistent from essay one through essay four, these two strengths are unity and development. Not only did I have strengths but I also have major weaknesses, and…

How long does it take you to remember something? If you are cramming for a test do you feel like you remember things faster? If I give a participant an easy fifty word essay, then how long would it take for the participant to remember and recite it? Are there any tactics that help your brain store information better? Let's see what you can learn from this paper, but also what you can remember from it later. The reason or purpose I chose this topic to do research on because I sometimes forget to…

words I use and what better alternatives would work. I know there is still a lot more for me to learn throughout the next semester and the rest of my life, and I look forward to the challenge of it. A huge aspect that I changed about writing an essay is creating…

The essay I was assigned to write was an illustrated essay. I never heard of an illustrated essay before but I kind of had an idea of what it was about. After reading the two reading examples that were provided in essay number one. I got an idea of what I’m supposed to do. I spent hours trying to come up with what should I write about? At first I considered writing about how traveling educated me. I couldn’t come up with good examples. I started brain storming until I came up with a couple more…

trouble with how to begin my essays. I honestly never really looked into strategies that can help me begin my essays, therefore I was stuck for some time until I could come up with something, then I begin to type. Not only did I have problems with starting my essay, but I also had problems with how it flowed, especially to the reader. Since English is my second language, grammar errors is something I have always had an issue with. Grammar errors affects the flow of the essay when a reader reads…
