Five paragraph essay

In Marie Foley’s “Unteaching the Five Paragraph, Mary Kay Mulvaney’s “Difference Between College and High School Writing,” and “Understanding Writing Assignments: Tips and Techniques” by Dan Melzer, the authors all have a different opinion on various topics of writing. The topics includes the five paragraph structure, how to understand a writing assignment and the difference between the writing of college student and high school students.

write essays. A lot of essays! I heard many horrible stories about students staying up all night just to finish a 10-page essay for one class. I knew I would be that student, because I procrastinate way too much. When Professor Diamond, handed me the first essay topic and I read the rubric and saw “minimum 1000 words” my heart dropped to the floor. If someone asked me how many pages a 1000-word essay would be, I couldn’t even tell them. I didn’t know if I had ever typed a 1000-word essay before

his strongest essay. He constructed this essay with very little guidance and help. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the standard five paragraph: topic sentence, lead into evidence, evidence, analysis, and conclusion. Josh is the most improved and one of the strongest writers in the entire school. Next year, I hope to see Josh gain confidence in his writing ability and continue to apply what he learned.

the Academic Essay For many high school students, the academic essay is an unforgiving monster that terrorizes their campus, a nightmarish beast that can rip the heart out of G.P.A.'s and dash all hopes for college admission.

My mom has been my biggest supporter towards excelling in school and literacy has been a major aspect I have grown to accept. At the early age of five I found literacy to be exciting and an escape from reality. In elementary I was blessed to have teachers who truly loved their job.

The writing process was designed to guide writers through writing; the writing process accomplishes this by supplying writers with five steps to follow when writing. The five steps consist of: choosing a topic, brainstorming, drafting, revising, and editing. The writing process allows writers to plan the order in which they will conduct their paper.

To thrive in college level work one must be able to properly revise and edit their writing, communicate effectively with their professor and contain the skills to write an organized essay. I was able to gain all of these skills while completing Composition 1 and 2. Containing the skills

we all hear that dreadful five letter word; “essay”. Even though I am sure that we would all like to delete the word from existence, unfortunately, it will go on being an annoying part of high school.
