In our textbook, “Writing Simplified” sections 28-30, we are given information that will be useful in writing our second paper. Our second paper will be a compare/contrast paper that explores educators roles. Section 28 reviews what an essay is and section 29 revisits how to begin writing an essay by planning and prewriting. Included in this is choosing a topic, being mindful of our audience and being sure of our purpose in writing the essay. Section 29 also reviews how to structure an essay; the first paragraph will introduce the topics and will include a thesis sentence that will let the reader know what the paper will be about.
The paragraphs that follow will be the body of the paper and each shouldl have a first sentence that once again tells the reader what that paragraph will be about. The last paragraph will be the concluding paragraph that retells the thesis in a new way and concludes the paragraph without bring up any new points.
The use of outlines is a great way to ensure that a paper has all of the structure it needs to be a success.
In a way this is like a recipe. It is giving the basic structure that one might needs to make a dish successfully; just add creativity.
