how do you write a 5 point essay?
111792
State what you are going to prove.  List 5 ideas that prove your statement.  Conclude by saying what you just proved.  (e,g, BEGINNING: It's not good for kids under the age of ___ to walk to and home from school alone. FIVE SUPPORTING POINTS:  1. it subjects children to victimization by criminals; 2. it subjects kids to physical injury while crossing the street; 3. kids who are victims of crime are subject to grow up with deep traumas and sometimes have lasting phobias; 4. parents whose children are kidnapped, murdered, molested, etc. are sometimes more likely to be less productive members of society due to life-long grief and related emotional problems; 5(a). parents who fail to adequately provide for the safety of their children increase the burden on law enforcement agencies who have to incur time and resources in locating children, or 5(b) all society is hurt when children are hurt because everyone loves children. CONCLUSION:  Therefore, due to the fact that -------, ----, -----, -----, and ----, parents should not allow children under the age of ___ to walk to and from school unchaparoned by an adult or responsible older child.\n\nThat's just an example.\n\nYour essay is something you want to prove.  It has a beginning, a middle and an end.  It can be anything from "Why it's tough to make it in the world today," to "Why I've chosen to be a ____" when I graduate.  Have fun with it - and goodluck.  \n\nBe sure to choose a NARROW topic - it gets crazy when you choose a broad topic. Then brainstorm only stopping to make rough notes of what comes out of your mind.  Just let all your thoughts about the subject flow out uninhibited. Don't interrupt the flow. Then look closely at all the rough ideas and select the best ones.  Hopefully, you'll have 10 or more. Next, pick the top five-your very best-points.  Now you have your topic and 5 excellent points to support your topic.\n\nP.S.  It's a good idea to deal with ideas that are the extreme position of yours, but discuss them in your essay to dispel them or break them down.  Whenever you write anything, assume that the reader already knows the other side.  So deal with it, acknowledging it, BUT topple it with your points. For example:  for point 1 above, which reads: subjects children to victimization by criminals.  Some parents will say, "we live in a safe neighborhood and no children have ever been harmed in our neighborhood" -- you might want to write:  Some parents believe their neighborhoods are safe and permit their children to walk to and from school.  Other parents allow their children to walk to and from school because the school is onely a couple of blocks down the street.  The reason neither of these ideas are good ones is because statistics have shown that child molesters are subject to pick up kids from affluent neighborhoods as they are from other ones.  [sometime like that - gotta run - hope it helps]

A typical essay consists of about 400-500 words.  It has 5 paragraphs.  The first paragraph (about 100 words) is the opening/theme.  It will discuss briefly about what the essay will be.  The next 2-3 paragraphs will be the body of the essay (100 words each paragraph), going into further detail on your topic.  For each point you make, you will need at least two details to back it up.  The final paragraph is the conclusion and will have less than 100 words.  It will briefly restate what was in the first paragraph, while summing up was stated in the body paragraphs.  Do NOT introduce new ideas in the conclusion.  If you have extra points/ideas, include them in another body paragraph       \n\nHave fun!

To start out my essays I usually question the reader...that way they will think about what it is they will be reading. Or sometimes try to start with a statistic or interesting fact so that they will be interested in reading your essay.\n'What are some things you think may put out a fire ? Household materials are proven to work during a fire emergency, such as baking soda ,salt,flour......."  Then you could keep on with what you wrote. If this is a 5 paragraph essay though you would need more than an intro. sentence.If its a 5 paragraph essay you can think about using \n'What are some things that you think may put out a fire ? Some household materials are proven to work.In the next few paragraphs you will find out what some of these materials are.\nAlthough they are simple materials that you can probably find next to you in the kitchen you will find this information helpful to know. Also here you will read about a controlled experiment that will determine which liquid or material turns out the fire faster.' \n That is just an idea that you can use for your introduction paragraph. Then after the Introduction paraghraph you can re- write exactly what you have already done. For the thesis paragraph you have to prove whether what you hypothsised was correct or not. After you get your result you can do your thesis paragraph. * one thing though....i would reconsider in trying to put out a fire with gasoline....just to be on the safe side. Hope that this all helped !!! \n\n^-^ :-)

okay, here's a little technique i use when writing essay..and it's really easy once you get a hang of it..and i'll show it to you through step by step :]\n\nExample. Topic - is it appropriate for teenagers to have a computer in their room? (yeah i know it sucks but i'm just using it as an example..and let's say you think they shouldn't)\n\nnow, you should think in your head that your essay will be at least contain 5 paragraphs - 1 for introduction, 3 for the body of the essay, and 1 for conclusion.\n\nparagraph 1 - introduction - try to talk about how the computers and the internet have gotten so poppular these days and how much people love to spend time on it. Then at the end of the paragraph, point out the thesis which you think that teenagers should not allow to have a computer in their room - but one thing, try not to make it an announcement.\n\nnow you need to explain a few reasons why teenagers should not have a computer in their room in order to support your thesis..\n\nbody  - paragraph 1 - it's addicting and teenagers may end up spending a lot more time on the computer than what they really suppose to, other than doing their homeworks.\n\n        paragraph 2 -  people who spend a lot of time on the computers tend to get headaches and back pain as well as damage of the vision.\n\n        paragraph 3 - it causes lack of communication between the teenagers and their parents because teenagers tend to spend a lot of time in their room so they could access to the internet.\n\nlast paragraph - conclusion - well i think you already got the idea of how to write the conclusion but remember your conclusion paragraph needs to correspond with the introduction paragraph :]\n\ni hope this will help you a little more to understand how the body structure of an essay should look like. good luck :]

The most important part of college is to attend and to turn SOMETHING in on the deadline. Even if it's not quite 500 words it will be just one grade if it's not an "A" you have time left in the semester to bounce back. Also, if you can clearly make your point (depending on the subject, if it's a writing class then you should probably type the appropriate number of words), if your essay covers your topic completely and is supported by original thought and support from your text, then you should be good. It's not your fault you can write in a condense and concise form and cover your topic thoroughly with 150 less words then the rest of his/her students.

HI!\nThe very fact that u r using the net to find homework help, should give u ideas. I could probably give u a brief that u need to elaborate upon. Since your essay is about change, you could have both the pros and cons mentioned in it. And you can make it humorous too. I will write the brief and post it in the next hour, till then u could do a little thinking too.

Five paragraphs are easy - 1st is intro, 2nd is your first reason, 3rd is your 2nd reason, 4th is your 3rd reason and the 5th is your conclusion.\n  In the Intro you want to lay out the issue - give "both" sides and then, without using "I" or any other reference to 1st person, explain that the side you are writing about is the "only logical conclusion" (or your words) based on the three reasons below.  Each body paragraph is a reason, which you tie back to the crux question.  You want to give the reason and explain how/why it's an important one.  In the conclusion try to avoid simply re-stating what you've said above - but refer to your arguments.\n       You didn't say if there was to be research involved or if you were to use quotations from texts... I'd still use the same essential format as above, but I would suggest a few modifications.\n     Just so you know, I've been teaching for 7 years.  I completed a couple graduate degrees and always did well on papers, i.e., I'm not talking out of my a**.  Good luck!

Write about something you know, and dont try to use big words if they aren't necessary.  Use a great hook at the beginning but it's just an essay dont get carried away, just stay away from "Have you ever heard about......Well I'm going to tell you about...." or stupid introductions like that.  Make sure you use transitions in between paragraphs.  the last sentence of a paragraph should relate to the first sentence in the next paragraph.  \ndepending on the college, most have a writing center that have people there to help you get your ideas out on paper.  I suggest going there if you need help in the technical aspect of how to write it, if it is ideas on an open essay (you pick the topic) then just think about something you truely enjoy or are knowledgable about.

20 pgs?!!? come on, its no that long! Believe me! I had to do a 132 pg biology report on human anatamy when i was a frshmen at high school, and it was a report just on the basics.  Have you ever heard of Writing P.O.W.E.R.? I have no idea who came up with it, but it’s an easy way to learn and remember how to write a good essay from start to finish—from topic to final draft. All you need to do is know what each letter stands for, then follow the steps in order for some P.O.W.E.R.ful writing!\n    \n   First comes P. P. stands for Pre-writing Preparation. This is all the stuff you do before you actually start writing your essay. Some students think this step is not really important and that they don’t need to do it. Wrong! Pre-writing Preparation is probably the most important step of all. Why? Because it’s here that you think, think, think about your topic, what you want to say about it, and how you’re going to say it. The more Pre-writing Preparation you do, the more ideas you will have, and the better your finished essay will be. Pre-writing Preparation is brainstorming for ideas. Some people write a big crazy mixed-up list of anything that comes to mind—good or bad, big or small, main idea or detail, important or not. It doesn’t matter—you will sort it out and clean it up later—this is just the time to start getting ideas out of your head and onto the paper. Some people write a cluster diagram or map of ideas instead of a list. Some do a combination brainstorm and outline. There’s no one best way to do Pre-writing Preparation; do whatever works best for you, but get those ideas on the paper!\n    \n   After Pre-writing Preparation, it’s time to Organize and Outline. This means you look at your list, map or cluster diagram and try to find connections. If you have done good, extensive Pre-writing Preparation, you should have enough ideas there to start seeing a pattern and choosing your essay’s body topics. Do you see a few large, general groups? These become the body paragraph topics. There should be three or more, if possible for the typical essay. All of the little ideas relating to these bigger groups will become the examples and details, in other words the support, of the body topics. Any ideas that don’t make sense, don’t go with your body paragraph topics or are repetitive can go in the garbage! Organize and Outline means taking your ideas, then putting them into logical categories, then listing all the details and examples or information you have about them. Some writers do the introduction and maybe the conclusion at this stage. If that works for you, great. If not, save it for later. \n  \n   After Organize and Outline, it’s time to Write. This will be your first draft, which means it will look basically like an essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. However, it doesn’t need to be perfect. You can Write the introduction first, or write the body first and the introduction last. It doesn’t matter what order you Write the paragraphs as long as the reader reads the introduction first. Don’t worry too much about handwriting or typing, spelling or grammar at this point—just get those paragraphs on paper. Take the three (or more) big groups from your Outline. Write a topic sentence for each body paragraph with this big idea as the topic. Now, put all of the examples and details into supporting sentences. Make sure every sentence in the paragraph is about the paragraph’s topic and that every paragraph is about the essay’s topic! If you want to write about something else, please do it in a different essay! \n    \n   If possible, put your first draft away for a few days. This will help you see it with fresh eyes when you Edit and Revise. (Actually, you Revise before you Edit, but then that would give us Writing P.O.W.R.E.! So, let us make the E. something like Error Elimination and Example Expansion. This covers both Editing and Revising!) So, first check your
