Name: ______

Directions: For each of the following essays, create an outline for an essay. You may work with people around you to help develop SFI and reasons, but you must write your own opening paragraphs, body paragraph outlines, and conclusion. You may use this sheet for brainstorming. THE FIRST ESSAY OUTLINE IS DUE FRIDAY; THE SECOND ESSAY OUTLINE IS DUE MONDAY.

  1. Analyze the ways in which the federal government sought support on the home front for the war efforts during the First World War.
  2. Analyze the origins and outcomes of the intense cultural conflicts of the 1920s. In your response, focus on TWO of the following:
  3. Immigration
  4. Prohibition
  5. Religion

If you can’t create a background paragraph or concession paragraph-write a STRONG 4 paragraph essay.

Reminders: Think about your introduction paragraph as your first impression. The better your first impression is; the better your score will be. Be clear and focused with your thesis statement. Use your reasons to outline the rest of your essay.

Think of your topic sentences for your body paragraphs as mini-thesis statements for that specific reason. Use it to keep you on track for your paragraph. Write actual analysis about your SFI and how it connects to your thesis.

Your conclusion can be thought of as a synonym for your opening paragraph. Write it that way.
