I have a history teacher that wants a paper over my article explaining who , what , when, where, why and how. The fact is these articles are short and two students turn in 3 paragraphs for a summary. . . long summary. and was given another page worth of info needed to add in to get a C. I was wondering if anyone had any good creative ideas to how to write this paper informative yet not to wordy!

Answer 1

I can see five paragraphs -- plus an introduction and conclusion for such a paper.

Go into detail about the "who, what, when, where, why and how" of the article.

If you post some information about your article -- and your attempts at writing the paper -- we'll try to help you more.

Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 5 can be moved around depending on how it reads once you get the rough draft written.
