2 form notes and Theme statement ‘how to s’

Hi 12s,

Here is some help for your work this long weekend:

Two Form Essay Planning

The essay shall be inclusive of 2 forms. You'll declare and blend a combination of narrative/descriptive/comparison/persuasive/argumentative/expository. Choose 2 and employ/combine them.
You may bring an outline to the write but it may have no sentences on it. Rather this ought to be a skeletal map of the shape of your ideas.
You will be assessed equally on form and sophistication/effectiveness of content. So I'll look at both how and what you are saying. (See rubric)
Be aware of your audience/perspective/diction/form/ devices (analogy,metaphor, irony, simile, imagery) as they all fit together to achieve your purpose.

The top of your essay will look like this for example:

Forms: argumentative/narrative
Audience: Parents of high schoolers
Purpose: To convince parents to broaden their view of post secondary to include other schools . . ./to amuse.
Devices used: analogy, logic/logos, pathos/emotion, two levels of diction

Enjoy your long weekend. Spare a thought for service men and women now and in years gone by. <3
Ms. S
