Rewrite your essay. Your essay must be divided into paragraphs. Please make these changes or additions to each paragraph.

  1. The first sentence must be short (topic sentence)
  2. The second sentence must be a longer version of the first sentence (expand)
  3. The third sentence must do one of these
    1. provide sensory words (words related to sight, sound, texture, smell, or taste)
    2. give an example of what you are talking about
    3. state a fact about the paragraph's topic
    4. state an opinion about the paragraph's topic
    5. use an analogy, simile, or metaphor to describe how the topic is like or similar to some other thing
  4. The fourth sentence must give more information on anything from the first three sentences (elaborate)
  5. The fifth sentence should move the reader to your next topic (transition)

Note: You are not allow to begin two sentences with the same word per paragraph. Same instructions stated differently: No two sentences in any one paragraph may begin with the same word. Within one paragraph, all sentences must begin with a different word.
