Exercise #18

Recognizing and Developing 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-part Essay Formats

Instructions: Create 4 essay outlines, one for each essay format of 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-part essays. (See lecture notes regarding essay formats.)

bulletYou have several choices here.
bulletYou may use one of your previous essays that you are still revising
bulletYou may outline your current essay assignment
bulletYou may read one or more essays and outline them
bulletYou may create an outline for a hypothetical essay on a topic for a persuasive argument
bulletYou can modify exercise #20 to a new format (e.g. change it from a 3-part to a 4-part essay)
bulletYou can also provide 4 different model versions of the same essay if you wish

(Each outline should be about a half-page and should conform to either a formal outline format or a semi-formal layout as discussed in class. Extra credit will be awarded for a formal outline.)

Note: You may follow my Pre-Outlining Sample 6-part essay model to complete this assignment. Completion in this manner will suffice for all essay formats, so you only have to do one or two pages to complete your outline.

Note: Alternative Assignment

At the option of the instructor, students who are not working ahead may be assigned an essay to read, then identify the essay structure, then outline a response to the sample essay in four different format versions.
