    Parts of an Essay:
    Introduction
    The introduction guides your reader into
    the paper by introducing the topic. It
    should begin with a hook that catches the
    r e a d e r ’s i n t e r e s t . T h i s h o o k c o u l d b e a
    quote, an

    give some background information on the
    topic.
    Body
    The body of the essay supports the
    main points presented in the topic.
    Each point is developed by one or
    more paragraphs and supported with
    specific details. These details can
    include support from research and
    experiences, depending on the
    assignment.
    Conclusion

    a l l t h e m a i n p o i n t s o f t h e e s s a y.
    Each paragraph should end with a
    final statement that brings
    together the ideas brought up in
    the
    paragraph.
    Writing Patterns
    It is important for a writer to know the
    types (patterns) of writing. Generally
    speaking, all writing has been divided
    into several forms.
    These are description, persuasion,
    narration and exposition.
    Descriptive Writing
    is a style of writing that involves a
    detailed description of a place or person,
    intended to create a vivid picture in the
    r e a d e r ’s m i n d t h a t g i v e s t h e m a b e t t e r
    f e e l f o r t h e s t o r y. P e o p l e o f t e n a s s u m e
    that descriptive writing is about using
    fancy and flowery phrases. It is heavily
    based on sensory details: sight, sound,
    smell, feel, taste.
    Persuasive Writing
    is the main style of writing you will use in
    academic papers. When an author writes in a
    persuasive style, they are trying to convince
    the audience of a position or belief.
    P e r s u a s i v e w r i t i n g c o n t a i n s t h e a u t h o r ’s
    opinions and biases, as well as justifications
    and reasons given by the author as evidence
    of the correctness of their position. Any
    “argumentative” essay you write in school
    should be in the persuasive style of writing.
    Narrative Writing

    is used in almost every longer piece of


    writing, whether fiction or nonfiction.
    When an author writes in a narrative
    style, they are not just trying to impart
    information, they are trying to
    c o n s t r u c t a n d c o m m u n i c a t e a s t o r y,
    complete with characters, conflict, and
    settings. The purpose of narrative
    writing is to tell a story just like a
    storyteller but in written form.
    Expository Writing
    is one of the most common types of
    writing. When an author writes in an
    expository style, all they are trying to
    do is explain a concept, imparting
    information from themselves to a
    wider audience. Expository writing
    d o e s n o t i n c l u d e t h e a u t h o r ’s o p i n i o n s ,
    but focuses on accepted facts about a
    topic, including statistics or other
    evidence.
