Week 5: Drafting Your Essay

This week, you will expand last week's writing assignment to create a four-paragraph essay by adding an introduction, a second body paragraph, and a conclusion. You will start the writing process by drafting your introduction and posting it here for feedback.

Instructions for your first post: The Week 5 Lesson in Canvas contains a number of tips to help you, but essentially the introductory paragraph you post here should describe the activity and how it works, and it should end with a thesis statement that presents your main idea or the point you wish to make about the subject (two reasons you enjoy the activity).

You have already written a paragraph that gives one reason why your activity is popular. Refer back to the list of other reasons you gave in your first post in the Week 4 Discussion and select a second reason.

Then, include both reasons in the thesis statement you create as the last sentence of your introductory paragraph. You might find it helpful to use this format.

_____ is an activity that is popular because (list the reason you chose last week) and (list reason 2).

As this discussion progresses, you will continue drafting and sharing parts of your essay with additional opportunities for feedback.
