ESSAY STRUCTURE

COMMON HOOKS:
-anecdote: a personal story that relates to the topic.
this is very commonly used in newspaper and magazine
articles, but there is usually not enough room for it in
a five-paragraph essay.

-witty remark/humor: cliches should never be used in
essays, but a cliche with an original twist that arouse curiosity. Titles of newspaper and magazine articles almost always do this.

-rhetorical questions: a rhetorical question should be a clear statement that happens to be in the form of a question.

[Audrey]
