Write a five-paragraph essay that reflects on how an experience caused a change of perspective for you.
- Introduction
- The introduction sets up your writing by letting the reader know about your topic, and what you will discuss about it.
- No major details should be here, it’s just where you let us know the goal of your writing. Think of it as a movie preview, you get the highlights and focus, but need to see the movie to see all of the main action.
- Be sure that your introduction includes a thesis statement. This is the one sentence that all information in the body of your essay should point back to.
- Body Paragraph 1
- Focus on your perspective/view before the experience that caused the change.
- Body Paragraph 2
- Explain what, or who, caused your perspective to change.
- Body Paragraph 3
- Explain what, or who, caused your perspective to change.
- Body Paragraph 4
- Reflect on what this change has meant for you.
- Conclusion
- Summarize your essay and reinforce your thesis.
- Do not bring up any new information in this paragraph.
