Essay Writing:
Part 2
PART I
Modules 1 through 4 Homework Assignments will be a
continuation of a writing process. You
will construct your essay by answering the following prompt, which will be
given at the beginning of each homework assignment. This is a step-by-step process, so if you are
unfamiliar with what a descriptive essay is, do not worry. By the end of Module 4, you will have a much
better understanding of a descriptive essay and will have written one
successfully. As long as you read the
textbook and all the lecture notes and complete the activities, you will not
encounter much difficulty.
Prompt: Write a descriptive essay
about a specific place that you know well and have observed. You will construct a traditional,
five-paragraph essay (introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a
concluding paragraph).
1. Continuing
from the Module 1 Homework Assignment, take out your outline and reread your
topic and details.
2. Based on your
outline, write a thesis statement. Your
thesis statement should state the dominant impression about your subject.
3. You will now
construct an introductory paragraph by using the model below:
I.
Introduction
A. Opening sentence that attracts the reader’s interest
B. Supply any background information that will make the reader better
understand the place, such as its importance
C. Thesis statement
4. You will turn
in the introductory paragraph (in paragraph form, not outline form).
You have successfully written the introduction and
thesis statement for your descriptive essay.
You are now ready to write the body of your essay in the Module 3
Homework Assignment.

Introduction
A. Shopping online may be more convenient for some; however, nothing can
truly replace shopping in an actual store.
B. Most believe that shopping online can save time, but when buying
certain items, it may be best to visit the actual store and try the product out
beforehand. Many times, online policies
can be difficult to comprehend, especially in regards to returning merchandise.
C. The traditional way of shopping is more efficient than online shopping
because a product can be tried out before being purchased, the price can be
determined accurately, and physical activity is involved in the process.
