Pick List & Choose

When writing an essay, you should follow these steps to help identify broad but distinct main ideas for your supporting paragraphs.

1. Pick a topic.

2. List out all the ideas connected with that topic that you can think of.

3. Choose broad but distinct ideas from the list that you generated.

For homework tonight, you will be looking at the essay plans handed out in class. Decide whether the paragraph ideas are distinct and broad enough. If not, think of better topic ideas. Then write sentences that could introduce each paragraph.

Don't forget to read your biography each night!
