Writing and Five-paragraph Essay

902 Project: Five-Paragraph Essay Project: Thesis, Supporting Points, Outline

To do well on a project you should be prepared to spend time over several days to do your best work. You should plan to apply yourself to your project, take a break from it, and come back several times to polish and refine your work. Your goal for this project is to complete some exercises about a prompt for a five-paragraph essay. The essay will be due in a later unit. As you work on the exercises, understand that your essay can be persuasive (supporting a position or belief) or expository (informing about a topic) and will be about 600-800 words long (about 2-3 pages). Choose the prompt carefully.
