  2.

  3. Structure Requirements • Must include the following: • Title page* • Letter to the Reader* • Body with repetend • Works Cited page* *These do not count toward page or genre requirements

  4. Topic Possibilities • A Person (famous, historical, relative) • A historical event (WWI, 9/11) • A problem with society (racism, abuse) • I-search (revealing/realizing oneself)

  5. Letter to the Reader • Must be in letter form (Dear reader…) • At least two paragraphs • Identify your topic and why you chose it. • Include signature Dear Reader, Ever since I was little…blah blahblah Sincerely, Martha Copp

  6. Research Piece • One of your pieces must be a researched, informative expository about your topic • Research piece will be used as essay portion of QLA assessment • Minimum of fifteen facts researched with three sources • Works Cited must also be turned in with research piece • Fact cards due this Friday 3 p.m. • Five paragraph essay format Why do I have to write a research piece? In order for the reader to “get” your topic, he/she must first understand the basics.

  7. Body Cont’d • The other pieces can be mixed and matched off the main list • If there is another genre you can think of, let me know! • Body must have a beginning, middle, and end- the order must make sense

  8. Repetend • Something added to your paper that repeats or continues. This creates unity among the various genre pieces (similar to weaving a thesis throughout a paper). • More on this later

  9. Helpful Hints • Be creative. Choose a topic that is meaningful. The purpose of this paper is to help learn who you are and how you feel. • Be an individual. One student per topic.
