Essay+Structure

We have talked about essay structure from the beginning of this course. 1. Intro (Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em) 2. Body (Tell 'em. Make it good.) 3. Conclusion (Tell 'em what you told 'em.)

Below is a more detailed handout describing the three parts of an essay, as well as several graphic organizers you can use to plan your essays. If you are writing a project-type essay, you can plan on the organizers in some detail. If you are writing a timed, in-class essay, you may just get comfortable with one type of organizer and use it to organize your point-form notes.
