Class Notes: Week #4
Important to plan essay and use time management!
Better to work on small pieces over a long period of time than to do it all in one day!
-> When you work then walk away, your unconscious mind is still working on it.
Narrative Essay Due: Week 7!1)
Diagram of essay: visualize placement of complication, body paragraphs and climax
-Shows if paragraphs are over stuffed/under stuffed
-Shows if each paragraph is more interesting than the last
2)
Plan your paragraphs! Make note of:
-All characters (main characters and ones needed for the setting of your paragraph)
-All interactions and actions in the paragraph
-Quality of language and tone of paragraph (Funny? Violent?)
The more paragraphs you have, the less number of words and description per paragraph
5 paragraph essay = 200 words per paragraph
6 paragraph essay = 168 words per paragraph
7 paragraph essay = 144 words per paragraph
Write body first (start with easiest/clearest) then write introduction and conclusion
*Prof will review our work if we ask him!
