Building Essay Content

Keep building your essay content this week.

A good way to do this follows:

Introduction:

• leads your readers into your topic by describing the issue of academic honesty and the relationship to plagiarism (example of a thesis or topic)
• provides the main idea statement (see above)

Body paragraphs:

• first body paragraph: reason 1 of your main idea statement
• first piece of evidence to support this reason
• second piece of evidence to support this reason
• second body paragraph: reason 2
• first piece of evidence to support this reason
• second piece of evidence to support this reason
• third body paragraph: reason 3
• first piece of evidence to support this reason
• second piece of evidence to support this reason

Conclusion:

• restates the main ideas stated in your introduction
• provides a reflection on your use of the elements of academic honesty that you address in this essay

Follow this pattern throughout the essay to support each reason with evidence and tie each paragraph back to your thesis.

WRITING WORKSHOP 5: AGAIN, Post new/additional words to your existing content for your final 6,000 word essay: Add another 1,000-3,000 + words, depending on where your current wordcount at this point in the writing process. You should be posting one document from start to finish each week with additional content to meet wordcount requirements.

Again, CONTINUE WITH your next SUPPORTING PARAGRAPHS: Write your paragraphs with the second topic sentence(s) (supporting your thesis) with research incorporated into the body content explaining REASON 2 from your thesis statement. To earn workshop credit, you must meet the total wordcount as directed in each wordcount.
