IE 3 Writing: Lesson 1

4/8/2015

Hi everyone,

It was really great to meet everyone today! It's going to be a busy semester, but you'll see your writing skills improve quickly during our course.

Essay Structure:
In our lesson, we reviewed the structure of an essay, which has three parts:
1. Introduction
2. Body Paragraphs (3)
3. Conclusion

From next week, we’re going to start writing our essay. We’ll learn about the “introduction” in more detail in class, and then you’ll write it for homework.

Topic Selection:
You also had some time to brainstorm topics (and subtopics) for your classification essay. When you choose your topic, make sure that it isn’t too general and isn’t too specific.

Homework:
1. Complete the Essay Structure Activity (bring to class)
2. Blog comment #1

Blog Question #1:

What is the topic of your classification essay? How are you going to classify your topic?

Example:
I’m going to write about the most popular tourist destinations for overseas tourists in Tokyo: the Imperial Palace, the Asakusa Kanno Temple and the Tsukiji fish market.

*Write 2-3 sentences.
*Use capitalization, punctuation & spelling correctly.
*Submit by Tuesday, April 14 by 6:00pm.
