4 Square Essay An Expository Adventure
We started this project by setting up a paper with two main ideas for the prompt: Choose an animal that would make the best class pet. Now explain why that animal would make a great class pet. As you can see beneath each main idea are two WSADK’s for each of our two anecdotes – which are stories that prove the main idea.
Here’s an example of what those WSADK plans should look like, when you’re done you should have four of these just like the following slide:
Next, we take each WSADK plan and, on the back of that same paper, write it out as a paragraph starting with the main idea. When you’re done you should have two main ideas each supported by two anecdotes like the following slide:
Finally, students will use a lined piece of paper to write out a focus statement, copy down their two main ideas with anecdotes, and write a conclusion to finish out their essay.
