Question

Hi. Can you help me with my homework? I have to write a 5 paragraph essay that is due to tomorrow. It is about: should us 5th readers have fun Fridays. But what I mostly need help is how to write a 5 paragraph essay. Thank you for your help. Have a nice night.

Answer 1

Follow the writing process:

<u>Prewriting</u>: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement

<u>Writing</u>: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction <b>after</b> the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.

<u>Polishing</u>: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)

Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?

Outline should be like this:
I. Intro and thesis st
II. 2nd most important reason + details
III. 3rd most important reason + details
IV. most important reason + details
V. Conclusion
