About This Activity
Grade 9: Essay Writing Essays are a vital part of writing, both in school and in many professions. The ability to write a well-constructed, thought-out essay is a rare and valuable skill in today's communication-driven world, and will extend to many areas of life, including writing emails, speeches, etc. To demonstrate the organizational and structural elements of a larger essay, this course will first review the construction of the perfect paragraph. The bulk of the course will focus on the preparation of initial ideas, from the identification of a thesis statement to the writing of topic sentences, drafting and revising supporting points and transitory elements, and deciding the most appropriate purpose the conclusion will serve.
