Winter Wishes Essay
Please write a 5 paragraph essay about 3 wishes you have. At least one of these wishes has to be non-selfish.
Remember you need:
1. An Introduction Paragraph
Your introduction should include some background information about what you will be discussing in your essay. You could share information about wishes, why people make wishes or maybe something related to your wishes. You introduction also needs a topic statement that clearly states what your essay will be about.
2. Three Body Paragraphs (one for each wish)
Each paragraph should describe what your wish is in great detail? Why did you choose that wish? What would be the results of it coming true? Why is it important/how would it make a difference or help people?
3. A Conclusion
This is the ending for your essay. You do not need to restate your wishes. Instead, this is a chance to give some final thoughts about your specific wishes or wishes in general. This is your chance to leave a lasting impression. It should be thoughtful, reflective and interesting.
We will be working on the rough draft in class on Monday.
We will edit and begin the final copy in class on Tuesday.
Rough Draft is due Tuesday 12/21
Final Copy is due Wednesday 12/22
