Dr. Dre Says ...
Take notes on all of this please - it's all testable. Dre says: Two parts to today's lesson.
1. Mr. B will explain Cupcake Essay to you in 2 minutes.
Listen up, please!
cherry = your topic / title. It focuses your thoughts
Icing = Hook your reader with a tasty intro, as you move from broad statements to your narrow thesis (main point). What will you argue or prove?
The cake = The body of your essay. Build it like this:
1) First reason that supports your thesis
a. details
Repeat for two total layers of cake.
cake = body paragraphs.
The wrapper = wrapping it all up. Restate your main idea, in a creative way. The wrapper ties directly back to your thesis / intro icing.
So the intro and thesis are connected!
2. Now, please get out your Cupcake Outline sheets
(Mr. B will pass out)
Go through and fill out this outline. Start with the Cherry - your topic. Work down to your Wrapper (conclusion).
You are about ready to write like a Pro!
Use the Shrek Recipe and your Cupcake Outline to guide you!
