Outlining Your Essay

It is always best to have directions or a map before you start out on a long journey. To that end, before anyone actually starts writing their paper, please outline your essay on the handout provided to you. Then, once your outline is done - show it to me before you begin writing.

Also, before you start any actual writing, please take a look at the essay samples below. At the end of each essay sample is a paragraph of teacher commentary. These are actual student essays that I have received in the past. In the commentary section, I tell you what grade I would have given the paper and why. Hopefully, this will give you a better idea of what I am looking for in your essays.
