  1. The 5-point Persuasive Essay

  2. What can the triple burger learn from the ones on the right? What is one of the most overlooked keys to an amazing burger?

  3. As Sir Mix-a-Lot once said, “[A burger ain’t a burger] unless you got buns, hun” (Sir Mix-a-Lot, 1992).

  4. Here’s our new and improved Frankenstein burger

  5. Shhh…just go with it…

  6. A Good Top Bun = High Scoring Introduction / Opening • 1. Restate the controversial issue = A nice crust • 2. Pick a side (don’t be wishy washy) = Sourdough? Kaiser? Sesame? • 3. Briefly list your (3) reasons = Flavory hints of burgery goodness to come

  7. A Weak Opening / Introduction A Thin Top Bun May not restate the issue, pick a side, or list reasons to be examined

  8. Don’t forget, 3 reasons = 3 patties (paragraphs)

  9. Heh…funny. What, no “ketchup” puns?

  10. Each reason/patty/paragraph should have the following: 1. Topic sentence = Good solid patty 2. Supporting sentences = Dressings (lettuce, tomato, pickle) 3. Concluding / transition = Cheesy goodness that wraps the sentence point up and connects to the next point

  11. Your 3 body paragraphs should be stacked nicely as COMPLETE thoughts

  12. Don’t forget about a solid Closing Bottom Bun. The burger / essay will fall apart with a weak, thin bottom bun. • A good closing should… • Restate the issue • Restate your • position • Rephrase the 3 • main points • Provide closing • thoughts

  13. Or worse yet…no closing paragraph leads to an even messier eating experience

  14. Other Problems Decent opening & closing, but only 1 puny, lonely, pathetic point There’s potential, but it’s just all over the place  poor editing

  15. That’s just wrong…and sad… Rare / Raw burgers = paragraphs that are not thought (thawed) out properly…get it???

  16. When you do not clarify which side you have chosen, it’s tough to make out what’s going on Sloppy writing, poor grammar, lack of structure & organization

  17. So take it from Mr. Turtle, and use a slow, methodical approach to building your next 5 Point Essay!
