Five paragraph essay Topic

Topic: The process of creating an informative speech

 

Construct a thesis statement that supports the following:

1.) how you used class time (lecture, whole class discussion, and small-group discussion) to support the creation of your speech

2.) how you used your textbook and additional reading material to support the creation of your speech

3.) how you used time with other students, family, friends and/or your professor to support the creation of your speech.

Reference specific instances and examples for each of the three main body paragraphs of your speech. If citing a quote from a text, make sure to use proper in-text citation format. Grammar and punctuation matters. Use transitions between paragraphs. Make sure to have a conclusion that summarizes the statements made in support of your thesis. End your essay with a thoughtful concluding statement.
