English 9 Linear: Homework for Friday
- Your essay is due at the beginning of class on Friday! Make sure it follows the following steps:
- Putting together an essay from the inside out!
- 1. Carefully consider the order of body paragraphs. They should conform to your overall thesis: best paragraphs go last. You always want to finish strongly.
- 2. You’ll probably have to rework the introductory sentences of the body paragraphs, since they now must work with other paragraphs. Transitions should be used!
- 3. Eliminate some sentences that don’t really answer the overall question. You never want to re-tell the story. Instead, use those parts from the story that address the issue.
- 4. Formatting:
- a. Put your title and name on top.
- b. Spacing should be 1.5.
- c. Use a size 12 or 14 font.
- d. Use a standard font (e.g. Calibri, Times New Roman, etc.).
- e. Indent each paragraph one Tab.
- f. Eliminate any sub-titles but leave an extra space between paragraphs.
