Essays&Paragraphs

For today, we did a review on chapter five; writing the paragraph. In chapter five, we covered the basics in writing a paragraph. Like how we reviewed ourselves we know that there are four types of paragraphs (introductory, developmental, transitional, and concluding). Also the two types of patterned paragraphs. Pattern A states the controlling idea, topic sentence, and develops it, while pattern B adds a concluding sentence following the development.

Chapter six; writing the essay. In writing an essay it is fairly like chapter five, although it has a little twist of it's own. An essay has a group of paragraphs and each functions a supporting idea called the thesis. Another good pointer that was covered in chapter six was the six types of introductory paragraphs to draw your readers attention. To name a few, there are the background type, direct statement if the thesis, question(s), and definition of terms.
