MONDAY CLASS !!

Today in class, we discussed about three parts in a developmental paragraph which is the subject, the topic sentence and the support. There are two patterns on convetional paragraph. One pattern states the controlling idea, the topic sentence and develops it and the other pattern adds the concluding sentence that follows the development. We also went over chapter 6 which is Writing The Essay. The introduction of an essay should always introduces and states your main idea and attracts the readers interest in your writing. There are 6 introductory methods: Direct statement of thesis, Background, Definition, Quotation, Shocking statement and Questions and Questions and a definition. We also had an exercise today that could help us understand more about the introduction.
