The Components of an Essay English 1

The 3 Main Components of Essay Writing • Introduction • Body • Conclusion

What Does an Introduction Do? • Introduces and draws the reader into the essay topic • Generates interest for the topic • Explains and illuminates the purpose and approach of the essay • Offers an organizational plan for the rest of the paper

Introduction:An Introduction is an Ice Cream Cone • Tasty Topping = Attention Grabber • Ice Cream = Background information to introduce topic • Cone = Background information: be more specific, lead into the thesis, prepare the reader for the thesis • Chocolate at the Bottom of the Cone (Nutty Buddy) = Thesis Statement

Or… • An Introduction is an Inverted Pyramid Attention Grabber Background Info More Specific Background Info Thesis Statement

Example of an introduction: Attention grabber: For decades Americans could not help but love the red-headed, fun-loving Little Orphan Annie. The image of the little girl moving so quickly from poverty to wealth provided hope for the poor in the 1930s, and her story continues to be a dream of what the future just might hold.  Background information: The rags-to-riches phenomenon is the heart of the American Dream.  More specific background info: And few other people have embodied this phenomenon as much as Andrew Carnegie did in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Precise thesis statement: His example and industry caused him to become the father of middle-class America.

Body paragraphs • Support the thesis claim • Prove that the thesis is correct through analysis, evidence, and explanation • Include evidence • Through the use of paraphrasing and direct quotations • Contain a topic sentence • Reveals main idea in each paragraph • Relates back to the thesis! *The key to a unified paper* • Contain transitions that move the reader smoothly from one idea to the next

Conclusion • Is metaphorically shaped like a pyramid • Restates but not rehashes thesis • Re-emphasizes main points • Avoids raising new claims • Draws the paper to a close • Caution: Avoid bringing up what would happen if things were the opposite way • Ex. “Without the symbolism, the story would not be as interesting.”

A Conclusion is a Pyramid Restate Thesis Sum Up Main Points, Wrap up ideas Provide Concluding Sentence Use different words, but keep the same ideas in the same order Refer back to the body paragraphs. Reference some of the info. Answers the question: “So what?” “What do we conclude?”

Conclusion Example: Restated thesis: Andrew Carnegie’s examples of thrift and industry, optimism, realistic Social Darwinism, and risk taking, combine to create a successful capitalist. Summing up of main points: His example and life pursuits have been, and continue to be, an ideal for the poor American and the immigrant trying to make the American Dream a reality. Andrew Carnegie ordained the happy marriage between capitalism and humanitarianism. Concluding sentence: In so doing, he made himself the father of the American middle class.

Basic Guide to Writing an Essay - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Basic Guide to Writing an Essay

Basic guide to writing an essay what is an essay an essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. you may be writing an essay to ... – powerpoint ppt presentation.

• An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary to complete a task. Either way, your essay will have the same basic format. If you follow a few simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay anyway.
• Don't let the thought of putting pen to paper daunt you. Get started!
• These simple steps will guide you through the essay writing process
• Decide on your topic.
• Prepare an outline or diagram of your ideas.
• Write your thesis statement.
• Write the body.
• Write the main points.
• Write the subpoints.
• Elaborate on the subpoints.
• Write the introduction.
• Write the conclusion.
• Add the finishing touches.
• Begin your outline by writing your topic at the top of the page.
• Next, write the Roman numerals I, II, and III, spread apart down the left side of the page.
• Next to each Roman numeral, write the main ideas that you have about your topic, or the main points that you want to make.
• If you are trying to persuade, you want to write your best arguments.
• If you are trying to explain a process, you want to write the steps that should be followed. You will probably need to group these into categories. If you have trouble grouping the steps into categories, try using Beginning, Middle, and End.
• If you are trying to inform, you want to write the major categories into which your information can be divided.
• Under each Roman numeral, write A, B, and C down the left side of the page.
• Next to each letter, write the facts or information that support that main idea.
• When you have finished, you have the basic structure for your essay and are ready to continue.
• Now that you have decided, at least tentatively, what information you plan to present in your essay, you are ready to write your thesis statement.
• The thesis statement tells the reader what the essay will be about, and what point you, the author, will be making.
• You know what the essay will be about. That was your topic. Now you must look at your outline or diagram and decide what point you will be making. What do the main ideas and supporting ideas that you listed say about your topic?
• Your thesis statement will have two parts.
• The first part states the topic.
• Kenya's Culture
• Building a Model Train Set
• Public Transportation
• The second part states the point of the essay.
• has a rich and varied history
• takes time and patience
• can solve some of our city's most persistent and pressing problems
• Once you have formulated a thesis statement that fits this pattern and with which you are comfortable, you are ready to continue.
• In the body of the essay, all the preparation up to this point comes to fruition. The topic you have chosen must now be explained, described, or argued. Each main idea that you wrote down in your diagram or outline will become one of the body paragraphs. If you had three or four main ideas, you will have three or four body paragraphs. Each body paragraph will have the same basic structure.
• Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form. Next, write down each of your supporting points for that main idea, but leave four or five lines in between each point.
• In the space under each point, write down some elaboration for that point. Elaboration can be further description or explanation or discussion.
• Once you have fleshed out each of your body paragraphs, one for each main point, you are ready to continue.
• If your main idea is "reduces freeway congestion," you might say this
• Public transportation reduces freeway congestion.
• Supporting Point
• Commuters appreciate the cost savings of taking public transportation rather than driving.
• Elaboration
• Less driving time means less maintenance expense, such as oil changes.
• Of course, less driving time means savings on gasoline as well.
• In many cases, these savings amount to more than the cost of riding public transportation.
• The introduction should be designed to attract the reader's attention and give her an idea of the essay's focus. Begin with an attention grabber. The attention grabber you use is up to you, but here are some ideas
• Startling information. This information must be true and verifiable, and it doesn't need to be totally new to your readers. It could simply be a pertinent fact that explicitly illustrates the point you wish to make. If you use a piece of startling information, follow it with a sentence or two of elaboration.
• Anecdote. An anecdote is a story that illustrates a point. Be sure your anecdote is short, to the point, and relevant to your topic. This can be a very effective opener for your essay, but use it carefully.
• Dialogue. An appropriate dialogue does not have to identify the speakers, but the reader must understand the point you are trying to convey. Use only two or three exchanges between speakers to make your point. Follow dialogue with a sentence or two of elaboration.
• Summary Information. A few sentences explaining your topic in general terms can lead the reader gently to your thesis. Each sentence should become gradually more specific, until you reach your thesis.
• If the attention grabber was only a sentence or two, add one or two more sentences that will lead the reader from your opening to your thesis statement.
• Finish the paragraph with your thesis statement.
• The conclusion brings closure to the reader, summing up your points or providing a final perspective on your topic. All the conclusion needs is three or four strong sentences which do not need to follow any set formula. Simply review the main points (being careful not to restate them exactly) or briefly describe your feelings about the topic. Even an anecdote can end your essay in a useful way. The introduction and conclusion complete the paragraphs of your essay.
• Don't stop just yet! One more step remains before your essay is truly finished.
• You have now completed all of the paragraphs of your essay. Before you can consider this a finished product, however, you must give some thought to the formatting of your paper.
• Check the order of your paragraphs.
• Check the instructions for the assignment.
• Check your writing.

Essay Outline PowerPoint Template

The Essay Outline PowerPoint Template is designed with the objective of helping writers present their essay. The Essay outline is a skeleton, a platform on which you can build your own writing and come up with your own thoughts. These outlines help you (the presenter) structure ideas and thoughts logically to build towards a meaningful and strong conclusion, which is the main point of presenting an essay. In fact, the outline is the main aspect towards writing an effective essay too.

This essay outline template is ideal for content writers and ghost writers when they need to present an essay pitch. It follows best practices structure and provides professional presentation layouts to accommodate content (texts, images, visuals and videos) in a way that make it easy to create a document style presentation.

The Essay Outline Template sections included are:

• Introduction : Containing Background and Thesis statement slides, this section should get the reader’s attention – intended to ask a leading question; relay something enticing about the subject in a manner that commands attention. Then State the thesis – what you are going to discuss.
• Essay Body : The body is the largest part of the essay. While creating your Essay outline, list down the supporting points you are supposed to cover when writing the essay. Make sure that you provide the main idea of the topic you will be discussing. Each Body supporting paragraph should reveal an argument that support the thesis statement and ague with Evidence and Examples.
• Conclusions : The conclusions section summarizes the essay idea. It is the evaluation of the statements made and the arguments given. The conclusion therefore refers to the thesis statement of the work.
• References : Referencing is a system that allows you to acknowledge the contributions and work of others in your writing by citing your sources. A feature of academic writing is that it contains references to the words, information and ideas of others. A well done research always includes investigating other authors about the state of the art of the topic or thoughts about the thesis statement.

Writing an essay implies a formal writing technique that can be mapped to more professional con complicated works, for example an academic thesis. Check our thesis presentation tips in the article  How To Do a Proper Thesis Defense Using the Right PowerPoint Presentation.

Extended Essay Support Site

Presentation.

4 of the 34 marks for the Extended Essay are for Criterion D: Presentation. The IB does not provide a checklist to remind you to include page numbers, captions and correct citations. Instead Criterion D asks: 

• To what extent does the structure of the essay lend itself to the topic, subject and argument?
• To what extent is the layout correct?
• To what extent do the structure and layout support the reading, understanding and evaluation of the essay?

The first bullet point is arguably the most difficult and is inextricably related to Criterion C: Critical thinking. However, there is no reason why you should lose marks for the second two bullet points on layout. Here is a checklist that you can use to determine if your essay is ready to submit:

EE checklist

Have you checked your word count (under 4000 words, after you have excluded words which are not counted towards the word count)?

Have you numbered tables and figures/illustrations, i.e. Fig.1, Table 1?

Does each table, figure or illustration have a caption or label?

For tables, illustrations and figures that are not based on your own work, have you included citations or full references?

Are tables, illustrations and figures mentioned in the text, using a numbered reference?

Do all in-text citations refer to a source in the bibliography or works cited section?

Is your list of works cited / references / bibliography in alphabetical order?

In your bibliography / works cited, are your sources formatted according to the requirements of your style guide (APA, Chicago, MLA)?

Are your pages numbered?

Does your table of contents include section headings and page numbers?

Are quotations clearly indicated by quotation marks or indented blocks?

Are appendices titled, referenced in the text and listed in the table of context?

Have you used a readable, conventional font? Have you double spaced your lines and used standard margins?

Does your title page include both your title and research question ? (Note: do not include your name, candidate number or school name or number on the title pages)

Do your introduction and conclusion answer the research question ? Does the answer to your research question follow logically from your arguments, evidence and findings?

Does the structure of your essay lend itself well to your topic, question and research?

How well does your essay structure lend itself to your argument? See the subject-specific interpretations of the assessment criteria in the EE Guide on the Programme Resource Centre under MyIB. There you can find advice on how to use headings and structures that are appropriate for your subject.

In today's competitive job market, practical experience is just as valuable as academic qualifications. This is where internships come into play. But what is an internship, and why is it so crucial for students? In this blog post, we'll explore the concept of internships, how they provide work opportunities for students, and why they're considered an essential component of modern education. We'll also discuss how we can assist you in managing your university assignments if you're juggling them alongside your internship.

What is an Internship?

So, what is an internship for students? An internship is a temporary work placement offered by an organisation to provide students or recent graduates with hands-on experience in a professional environment. In essence, it’s an opportunity to gain valuable work experience, develop new skills, and make industry connections that could be beneficial when seeking full-time employment.

Typically, internships last from a few weeks to several months and can be either paid or unpaid. They are designed to give you insight into a particular industry or profession, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge gained from your studies in a real-world setting.

Internships are not just about doing menial tasks; they often involve significant projects and responsibilities that contribute to the organisation's operations. For many students, this experience is their first taste of the professional world, providing a bridge between academic learning and the demands of a career.

Why Are Internships Important for Students?

Here’s a closer look at the benefits of internships for students:

1. Gaining Work Experience

One of the primary benefits of an internship is the chance to gain practical work experience. While academic studies provide a strong foundation in your chosen field, there’s no substitute for the learning that takes place in a real work environment. During your internship, you'll have the opportunity to apply your classroom knowledge to actual work scenarios, helping you to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

2. Enhancing Your CV

In a competitive job market, having work experience is crucial. Internships allow you to build a strong CV that showcases not only your academic achievements but also your hands-on experience in your field. Employers are often more inclined to hire candidates who have demonstrated their ability to perform in a professional setting, making internships a significant advantage.

3. Networking Opportunities

Internships provide an excellent platform for networking. As a student intern, you'll have the chance to meet and work alongside professionals in your chosen industry. These connections can be invaluable when you're seeking job opportunities in the future. Additionally, many internships result in job offers from the host organisation, making it a potential stepping stone to full-time employment.

4. Exploring Career Paths

Another critical aspect of what an internship offers students is the chance to explore different career paths. Internships allow you to gain insight into various roles within an industry, helping you to determine what suits you best. Whether you're undecided about your career or looking to confirm your chosen path, internships provide the perfect opportunity to test the waters.

5. Developing Professional Skills

Internships are an excellent way to develop professional skills that are not always taught in the classroom. Time management, communication, teamwork, and adaptability are just a few of the skills you'll hone during your internship. These competencies are highly valued by employers and will serve you well throughout your career.

What Are Internships For?

Internships serve multiple purposes for students and organisations alike. From a student's perspective, internships are a way to gain essential work experience, explore career options, and build a professional network. For organisations, internships offer the chance to scout and train potential future employees. Many companies view internships as an extended interview process, allowing them to evaluate a student’s potential before offering them a permanent role.
