Writing with Purpose...
A Practical
Guide to Writing
Spelling,
sentence structure, and
punctuation allow both native
English speakers and
ESL
(English
as Second Language) students to
communicate effectively. The
communication structure might be informal notes, assigned paragraphs,
research
papers,
essays, or
letters. Professional writers extend this structure to create
articles and
books. These various formats begin with the simple paragraph, and the
rhetoric they represent is often
presented in the classic
five-paragraph essay form. The various
structures of the five-paragraph essay can vary, but have some common
ground. The basic structure of writing is
rhetoric, the art of argument or persuasion.
Effective essays
communicate ideas well. The varieties of essay types are virtually
endless, and may include
cause and effect,
comparison and contrast,
narrative
and
others... what these types share
are a reliance upon classic
Rhetoric:
The Art of Argument or Persuasion.
When
students have mastered
paragraphs and
transitions, they can deliver an effective
conclusion!
