Ideas for Your Subtopics

  • What should each of my body paragraphs function as? Here are some (only some) ideas, thinking about what our topic and purpose are:
    • One equals expanding definition or clarification of the mnemonic device?
    • One equals the usefulness of the device, with examples of its use?
    • One equals…?
    • Let's discuss other possibilities in class, as there are many possibilities... ideas are dictated, at the end of the day, by your chosen subject and your ability to create by thinking about any type of  individual quality you may recognize in your subject:
      • FINE  (Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional) --> the opposite feelings of the word it creates....
      • BOSS (Bitchy, Overbearing, Serious, Superior) --> perhaps the person using this device to explain what their boss recognizes the good and the bad in being a boss and can use the essay to explain such!


Developing Ideas Starts With Writing a Simple Sentence and adding on...

Basic: 
  • subject (noun)  + strong verb + object (noun phrase)
    • Ex: The device + illustrates/teaches/inspires/...  +  [those who struggle with math to learn the pythagorean theorem]
Use adjectives with subject
  • adjective + subject + strong verb + object
    • Ex: The rhyming mnemonic + forces + [those who struggle with ...]
