Microsoft Word - English Essay Format and Structure.doc

1-Introduction and Thesis: (one paragraph)

Make sure the introduction has a developed thesis. For the purposes of this course, place your thesis statement as the last sentence of your first paragraph.

See the section on thesis statements and topic sentences below.

2-Body Paragraphs and Topic Sentences: (three or more paragraphs)

Make sure each paragraph begins with an analytic topic sentence (not just a plot point or description).

Focus on only one topic per body paragraph (and one idea per sentence).

End each body paragraph with a concluding statement on that paragraph’s topic -- (do not end paragraph with just a plot point or description).

The topic sentence of the next paragraph should provide some connection or coherence with the previous paragraph, to provide ongoing development of your argument.

3-Conclusion: (one paragraph)

Tie your points together and prove your thesis (argument). Summarize your intro and thesis -- but don’t just repeat them word for word -- rather, your concluding summary should be a developed articulation of your overall argument.

Works Cited: Review MLA Citation Style and Works Cited Format.

I Remember by InfoRed (Brad Bellegarde)
I was playing outside just a little man
With the world in the palm of my hand
A little kid living life with innocence
I remember everything with images
A red truck and a man in a black robe
They told my mom, call him father Joe
So we called him father Joe
I saw a tear in my mother’s eye
I let out a cry
But I didn’t know why
Piled up on the back of a truck
It had a flatbed on it and the road was rough
My hands were shaking
Feeling sick to my stomach
Where are they taking us?
Who could have done it?
My body is nervous
Why am I leaving?
What is the reason?
What is the purpose?
Now I’m just a lost little kid
Looking for my mother in this life that I live
All alone
On the road that I’m travelling
And I really want to do is go home
I remember, walking through the doors of the school
It was cool in September
They gave us clothes, put numbers on our sweaters
Said this will be your name until your home in December
They put powder on my head
Threw me in the shower
Then lined us up for bed
They took my braid away,
They took our braids away.
Cold night feeling shackled to my bed
I remember hearing whimpers from the kids
Whispers across the room
Talking things like, “I hope we go home soon!”
And this is just the first night
In my life, I think this is the worst night
I’m just a kid and their testing my will
When we’d hear the jingle of the keys
We’d all lie still
I’d close my just to block out where I’m living
With an image on a cloud that I’m sitting
I want to fly away, I want to fly away
I can’t cry, I can’t sleep
They even took away a kid for trying to speak
I remember thinking that we’d never get to meet
Then my mind drifted off and fell asleep
My first morning brought food I couldn’t eat
And if we didn’t we’d get punished in our seat
This is the life that I had to live in Residential School as a kid
Now it’s sixty years later looking back
Kind of funny how my mind remembers that
