The 5 Paragraph Essay

Editing practice: The kids were already to go.

We look at Section 22 (is 22.9 checked?) and Section 23 in the Everyday Writer. Look up every day and everyday and write a sentence using each of them . Do the same with amount and number.


We look at the short (five paragraph) essay as a way to analyze/synthesize/evaluate information. See handout.




Then we look at Everyday Writer pages 58-59.


Now for a prompt:

Look over the quotes and writing you have put in your daybook since the first day of class.  Think about the examples of directions you looked at, and the directions you wrote.

Write a short essay ( 5+ paragraphs) that explores/explains/describes the importance of considering/analyzing the audience for any written assignment. Use specific examples to support your points. Any kind (genre) of writing can be used as an example to support your point.


Homework:
1. Fill at least one page in your daybook brainstorming about the prompt. You may write out an entire essay if you wish. In class tomorrow you will type and print your essay to hand in.
