In-Class Essay Vs. Long-term Essay
In-Class Essays compose of these steps:
1: write a thesis and an introduction
2: write a simple topic sentence for each paragrapg
3: write only three body papagraphs
4: Skim over work for possible spelling or gramatical errors, but probably not any errors with analysizing
5: Write a conlusion only if you have enough time
For a long-term essay the steps are similar but require a lot more work. These steps are as follows:
1: Write an introduction that goes from broad to specific
2: Write an extremely well thought out umbrella thesis statement
3: Think of your topic sentences, at least three and at most five
4: write clear introductions to the paragraphs that can set up a clear change into a quotation
5: Find direct quotations from the text
6: Bold the words that are most important in the quotation
7: Analyze the bolded words and connect it to outside sources and other places in the book.
8: Write a clear five sentence conclusion that sums up the whole paper and partly repeats the introduction
The general format of an in-class essay and a long-term essay are similar. They both must analyze a text. Long-term, although, should be revised many times, have direct quotes, and must have clear and well-thought out thesis statements and topic sentences. The in-class essay should have similar analysis, just with less information and less revised.
