In addition, students will have an opportunity to reflect on the positive sharing and caring that they experience in their community, country and world.

This Contest Packet was created to help teachers and youth leaders participate. We hope that you will provide a writing workshop for your students and encourage them to submit essays. This packet includes all the information you need to participate, as well as sample lesson plan materials. If you have any questions, please contact a Peace Corps Volunteer or ELTAM member in your area or send an email to [email protected] or [email protected]

Before you start… SPA

­ Subject (be sure you understand the subject very well) ­ Purpose (Why do you write? Entertain, persuade, or inform; or a combination of two

or three?) ­ Audience (Whom are you writing for? What are their expectations?)

The Writing Process:

1. Prewriting Generating ides, planning and organizing your ides

2. Writing Using your ideas to write a first draft

3. Revising and Editing Check and improve what you have written

1. Prewriting – getting started – a way to warm up your brain before you write.

Generating ideas – prewriting techniques that are usually used to generate ideas. ­ Brainstorming – a list of as many ideas as possible (words, phrases, sentences, or

even questions) without worrying about how you will use them. ­ Clustering – a visual way of generating ideas; to show you the connections among

your ideas using circles and lines. ­ Discussion – to talk about the topic with your classmates, friends, family, or other

people. ­ Freewriting – if it is hard finding a focus for a broad subject write as much as you

can, as fast as you can, without worrying about mistakes. ­ Keeping a journal – you can start doing it, or you can use the one you already have.

You could write about the events of the day, the people you met or talked, or your reaction to something you heard, read, or saw.

Planning and organizing ideas – Make a simple outline as a guide. Group the items that go together, and cross out items that do not belong there (irrelevant or not related to the topic). Organize them by order of time, place, or importance.

2. Writing Paragraphs

A paragraph is a group of sentences that all relate to a single topic. ­ Topic Sentence – the topic of the paragraph is usually stated in the first sentence. It

should not be too general or too specific. ­ Supporting Sentences – add details to the topic (reasons, facts, personal experience,

and examples) there should be enough supporting sentences to prove your point made

Page 13: National en Essay Contest - Teacher[1]

12

in the topic sentence. They should be as specific as possible. And not to repeat the point made in the topic sentence.

­ Concluding Sentence – Some of the paragraphs have it, and it summarizes the ideas of the paragraph. It is the last sentence.

­ Organization – the way you organize the information. o Time order – to tell a story, give instructions, or explain a process. The

sentences are organized chronologically. o Spatial order – to describe what something looks like. o Order of importance – to organize ideas, examples and reasons for emphasis.

They can be organized in different ways: From least to most important; from general to specific; from most to least familiar; from simplest to most complex (and reverse of all these).

­ Transitions – they are signals (words or group of words) that show connection between one idea and the next (next, for example, in addition etc.). They can show time, spatial relations, listing additional/contrasting ideas, give examples etc.

3. Revising and Editing

It is impossible to write a perfect paragraph/essay on the first try. Revising – to look at the paragraph again and find out how it can be improved. Editing – the final part of the revision step. What kind of changes should be made as it is revised?

Revising checklist for paragraphs:

1. Make sure you have a topic sentence 2. Cross out sentences that do not relate to the main idea. 3. Check to see if the sentences are in the right order. 4. Add new ideas if they support the topic sentence. 5. Make sure you have included transitions to help guide the reader. 6. Check the grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Revising checklist for essays:

1. Make sure that the introduction provides enough information to create an interest in the topic for the readers.

2. Check if there is a thesis statement that states the main idea of the essay? 3. Make sure that all paragraphs provide adequate support and information to

develop and prove the thesis statement. 4. Check all the paragraphs according to the paragraph checklist. 5. Check if the paragraphs are arranged in logical order. 6. Make sure that the conclusion restates the thesis statement.

Page 14: National en Essay Contest - Teacher[1]

Basic plan of a typical five­paragraph essay

Once you know how to write a paragraph, it is not much more difficult to write an essay; an essay is just longer. An essay is a group of paragraphs about a specific subject. An essay makes and supports one main point. However, the subject of an essay is too complex to be developed in a few sentences. Several paragraphs are needed to support fully the main point of an essay.

INTRODUCTION Background information. Captures reader’s attention using anecdotes, questions, or facts and statistics.

Thesis statement It should start with a general discussion of the subject and lead up to the main idea or thesis statement. It narrows down the focus, it tells the reader what the essay will be about, and what points you will be making in the essay.

BODY Consists of several paragraphs that support the thesis. Each supporting paragraph develops one point of the essay. 1 st supporting paragraph (see sectionWriting Paragraphs) 2 nd supporting paragraph 3 rd supporting paragraph

CONCLUSION Summarizes, without using the same words, the main points of the essay, or restates the thesis statement. You should leave the reader agreeing, disagreeing, or at least thinking about your thesis statement.

What Is Cheating? Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose. At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing someone else's idea for a science project or by copying a book report from the Internet and turning it in as if it's his or her original work. Copying someone else's words or work and saying they're yours is a type of cheating called plagiarizing. kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/school/cheating.html (Retrieved 30.08.08)

What is Plagiarism? Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense: According to the Merriam­Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means 1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own

2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source

3. to commit literary theft

4. to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

All of the following are considered plagiarism:

• turning in someone else's work as your own

• copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit

• failing to put a quotation in quotation marks

• giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation

• changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit

• copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)

Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided, however, by citing sources. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience with the information necessary to find that source, is usually enough to prevent plagiarism. www.plagiarism.org (Retrieved 30.08.08)

Three­part template for a personal narrative essay

Sample prompts:

­­­Think of a time when you achieved a personal goal. Tell your readers the story of how you met that goal. Be sure that your readers understand why the experience is important to you.

­­­Think about an event in your life that seemed bad but turned out to be good. Tell the story of the event and help your readers understand how an event that seemed negative turned out to have valuable consequences.

­­­Choose a time when you did something that took a lot of courage or nerve. Tell the story of that event. Your narrative should show your readers why you decided to do what you did, it should give lots of details about the experience, and it should show how you felt after the event.

­­­Think of a time when you experienced caring in your family or at school. Think of a time you acted in a caring way toward someone or something. Choose one of these experiences and describe in detail what happened. Be sure that your readers understand why the experience is such an important memory for you.

Some strategies to use to make personal narrative essays strong and lively:

Ø Include names of people, places, and events.

Ø Use visual details: colors, shapes, textures, sizes, dates, times, sounds.

Ø Use dialogue and interior monologue—what did the people say? What did you think but didn’t say out loud.

Ø Build suspense as you tell the story.

Introduction

Present the topic, give the background for the story. End with the thesis statement.

Body

Present the narrative in detail—using as many paragraphs as necessary to tell the story. Each new paragraph must have a strong topic sentence. This is the longest part of the essay.

Conclusion

Restate the thesis in different words than you used at the end of the introduction. Then— without summarizing what you have already said—bring home the important point the story reveals. The conclusion is the SO WHAT part of the essay: so what do you want the reader to understand about the importance of the event in your life? Or, so what action do you want the reader to take as a result of reading your narrative?
