Prewriting an Essay

 


"How do I begin to write an essay, Ms. Albanese?"

"Always do an elaborate pre-write with all of your ideas," says Ms. Albanese. Then develop a draft that includes an introduction, body and conclusion.

Here is a Social Studies, Chapter 2 prompt: Many changes came to the "New World" as a result of European expansion and settlements.  Name two benefits of this expansion and describe who (which group) it helped and how.

PREWRITE
