"Level 5/6"
For next Monday, I would like you to start brainstorming and working on a 5 paragraph essay. Please use this chart below to help you with this topic. You can print this at any computer.
Topic: How will advances in technology shape the 21st century? Will the new technology bring positive changes, negative changes, or both?
Writing the Introduction (borrowed from http://abeged.com/essayPW&A.html#topics)
The Introduction should have the following components:
The Topic Sentence: One sentence that includes the topic of the essay and your opinion/point of view about the topic
Supporting Sentences (2-3): Two or three main ideas supporting your opinion on the topic (one sentence for each supporting idea). You will need to discuss each supporting idea in the body of your essay.
Summary Sentence (optional): You may include a closing sentence summarizing your opinion/point of view.

Writing the Conclusion
The last paragraph of your essay is the conclusion. The conclusion echoes the introduction and summarizes the main points from your essay. Use the suggestions below to complete your conclusion:
Summarize the main points from your essay
Give advice, make predictions, or draw conclusions
Check your introduction to make sure you emphasize the main points
