You are about to write the very first essay of your high school career. Don't worry though; you'll write lots and lots by the time you graduate! In order to ensure your success on all of the papers you'll write, it will help if we develop a common language of terms associated with writing. The ones I need you to know now are:
Introduction
Hook
Thesis Statement
Body Paragraph
Topic Sentence
Transition
Supporting Sentence
Conclusion
If you missed the notes over these oh-so-important terms, please see me!
