Formal Paragraph Writing Aids
|
To see the essay structure in practice click on either the 10 Academic History Tab or the 12 History tab. Once there you can scroll down till you find the essay writing aids (similar to what I've posted here) and you'll see sample essays. This is just a format...you'll have to adjust it based on the length of the essay the teacher wants. If the essay is only 3-4 pages, then your intro and concluding paragraphs are smaller as you'll need the space to demonstrate your knowledge of your topic and critical thinking skills provided in the body paragraphs. If the essay is 5 pages or more, your intro and concluding paragraph are longer and your body paragraphs will be a full page (typed and double spaced).... And when you get to university you just grow and modify this...the basic structure stays the same...but the steps will increase in length.
The formal paragraph structure you'd use on tests and exams, or in class writing assignments that call for a paragraph response.

Culminating Task novel reading guide
Here is a plan of attack for how to read this novel and still have a decent amount of time to complete part A of the culminating task. Part B is due in June, so following this plan will leave you loads of time to get it completed.
Chapters 1 - 29 - April 12
Chapters 30 - 50 - April 23
Chapters 51 - 70 - May 3
Chapters 71 - 85 - May 13
I know 85 chapters looks like a lot but many chapters are only a few pages in length. For example, chapter 85 is one page (front and back). In total, this novel is only 337 pages or something close to that.
