Lately in our classes we have been assigned a lot of essays. Some topics have been our choice. I am writing a short story essay on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Others are assigned by our teachers, for instance: the traditions that we have and how tradition is the enemy of progress. All of these essays have one element in common though: how they are started. There are many methods to plan an essay, but the one I will teach you is “This is an Amazing Delightful Composition.” This phrase is also known as a pneumonic device. You take the first letter of each word and have another word starting from that letter.
The “T” is for thesis, which is the point of the story. This can take a lot of brainstorming to figure out what you want to say exactly. Then there is the “I.” This is for Intro; the intro is telling how you are going to support the thesis and you create a hook to suck people into your story. The next step is “A.” Anecdotes are the small stories or personal experiences that are within the story and help support the thesis. “Details.” These are the main points that you want to put to support your thesis even more; the more details the better. Then there is “C,” which stands for conclusion and is probably the most important part of the essay besides the thesis.
Well, I hope that you can now plan a well-organized essay using the phrase, “This is an Amazing Delightful Composition.” Thesis, Introduction, Anecdotes, Details, Conclusion: four simple steps to make an excellent essay with very little effort.
