Unit 12, Assembling the Draft

Paragraphs
Assembling the final paper should proceed outward from where you left off in the previous
assignment. You should have between five and ten paragraphs ready to go, even if some of
them still reside in your imagination. Work towards the introduction and conclusion. As you
move from one paragraph to the next, remember to revisit your transitions between
paragraphs, to make the reading smoother and more engaging.

Conclusion
Read this excerpt from Purdue University’s OWL site about writing a good conclusion:
It is important to have a strong conclusion, since this is the last chance you have to make an
impression on your reader. The goal of your conclusion isn’t to introduce any new ideas, but to
sum up everything you’ve written. Specifically, your conclusion should accomplish three major
goals:

• Restate the main idea of your essay, or your thesis statement
• Summarize the . . . sub-points of your essay
• Leave the reader with an interesting final impression

The paragraph below is an example conclusion. As you read, think about what each sentence
accomplishes within the paragraph. What sentence(s) restates the essay’s thesis statement?
What sentence(s) summarizes the essay’s three sub-points? What sentence(s) leaves the reader
with an interesting final impression?
Getting a better job is a goal that I would really like to accomplish in the next few years.
Finishing school will take me a long way to meeting this goal. To meet my goal, I will also
prepare my résumé and search for jobs. My goal may not be an easy one to achieve, but things
that are worth doing are often not easy.
Notice that the first sentence restates the thesis. The second and third sentences summarize
the essay’s sub-points. Finally, the fourth sentence leaves the reader with an interesting final
impression.

Introduction
Finally, compose your introduction. Think about an introduction that involves the reader – t hat
makes them want to continue to the next paragraph. This is the ‘hook’ so common to pop
songs. In professional songwriting, we have about 30 seconds to ‘set’ that hook. Try to do it
even more quickly in an essay. Read here, from the University of Maryland:

http://www.umuc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/writing-center/writing-resources/parts-of-
an-essay/introductions.cfm?noprint=true

Don’t sweat the fine writing in your intro. Instead, let your writing appeal to the human brain’s desire to
know what happens next. Use your imagination now to its fullest extent. Make us want to turn the page.
The introduction is usually the hardest part to write, unless your previous assignments have given you a
clue to how the intro must work. It may take you several different starts to find the right ‘tone’ your
introduction needs.

Good luck! I will review your draft and post some criticism for the second attempt.

Unit 10, Scaffold step 4

One paragraph completed

Unless it is the introduction or conclusion, a typical paragraph has three parts:

• topic sentence, or claim
• body sentences, or proof
• conclusion, or summatione

Here’s a clear explanation of paragraph structure from Hamilton College

For this scaffold step, submit one complete paragraph, but it should not be the introductory
one. Choose an interior paragraph instead. Save writing the introduction for last, when you
have a better grasp on your own ideas. If you are a musician, imagine writing a piece of music
from the beginning to the end, just as listeners hear it. This never happens. You usually find a
hook line, or a chorus, then a verse or two and work on the chorus again, then to the bridge, or
the ending. Last, the intro. Follow this formula. It works for your essays, too.

Here’s an example of paragraphic flow by the greatest teacher of clear, coherent writing I
know, Gary Provost. Interestingly, when he begins to teach us how to write good flow, he chose
music as the topic of the paragraph. The colors refer to the relative length of the sentences, and
also their sense of flow and dynamic. Compare the engagement of the red section with what
follows.

Unit 10, Scaffold step 4

Gary Provost was an extraordinarily gifted teacher of writing coherence in the professional
writer’s world. You can pick up a copy of his book 100 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR
WRITING: Proven Professional Techniques for Writing With Style and Power for pennies at used
book stores online or at used book stores near Fordham, NYU or Columbia.

Unit 09, Outline of Topic Sentences

Outline and Topic Sentences
The outline and topic sentences are probably the most important step to writing a coherent
and effective paper. A 1500 word paper will have about 6 to 8 long paragraphs. The way to
create a good flow from paragraph to paragraph is to plan them out using an outline and then
deriving topic sentences that guide each paragraph to conclusion. Eight paragraphs should
generate eight topic sentences.
If you are unfamiliar with this process, or if you need to review, go here first:

resources/getting-started-writing/prewriting-and-outlining.cfm

Here’s an example of an earlier student’s outline for “The Origins of Punk”. The “o” symbol
indicates topic sentences for a much longer paper than hours, but the process should remain
clear. The phrases after the numerals could function as topical umbrellas, or in a book,
chapters. As you read this, notice the logical flow.

• Punk began in the 1970’s.
