concept, explain the concept, usually using examples, and then conclude with a 
summary.

Narrator: It is not necessary to start writing an essay from the beginning and write 
straight through to the conclusion. It is, however, necessary to plan the entire essay 
before you start to write. A simple outline will have an introduction with several 
supporting paragraphs followed by a conclusion, so let’s look at the 12-point essay.Slide 5
Slide Title: 12-Point Essay
Slide Content:
Repeated in narrative
Narrator: The 12-point essay is actually a miniature outline of a five-paragraph essay, 
except it only has 12 sentences. Each sentence is a small part of the overall essay.
There is one introductory sentence, one thesis statement, nine support paragraph 
sentences, and one conclusion sentence.
Slide 6
Slide Title: 12-Point Essay
Slide Content:
• Introduction 
• Thesis (contains “because” and three supports – A.B.C.)
• First support of the thesis (states A)
• First support of A
• Second support of A
• Second support of the thesis (states B)
• First support of B
• Second support of B
• Third support of thesis (states C)
• First support of C
• Second support of C
• Conclusion
Narrator: As you can see, the first sentence is the introduction. The second sentence is 
a three-pronged thesis statement. Sentences 3 through 5 are for your first support 
paragraph; sentences 6 through 8 are for your second support paragraph; and 
sentences 9 through 11 are for your third support paragraph. Sentence number 12 is 
your conclusion. Sentences 3, 6, and 9 are your topic sentences. From this short
outline, you can develop your entire essay because you now have a plan of attack.

start with support paragraphs; some write the introduction and conclusion first. There is 
no one system. Sometimes it’s easier to write the introduction and conclusion after you 
have written your support paragraphs. Regardless of how you choose to write your 
essay, you will accrue numerous drafts.
There are several sections to your drafts: the first draft, the middle draft, and the final 
draft.

Narrator: The purpose of the first draft is usually to get your essay on paper. Take the 
information you’ve discovered through prewriting, combine it with your outline, and put it 
in writing. Once you get the material on paper, you can start the writing on your middle 
drafts.

Narrator: In the middle drafts, you will work on unity and coherence. You will establish 
your transitions through words, phrases, repetition, and parallel structure. Sentence 
development and variety will be created in these drafts. By the time you have completed 
the middle drafts, your essay should be almost complete.

If possible, the final draft should take place at least 24 hours after the middle drafts are
completed. This way, you will look upon it with a fresh set of eyes. The final draft 
involves making changes that improve not only what your essay says, but how it says it.
Proofreading is checking for grammatical mistakes, errors in spelling, typos, and other 
superficial elements.
Hopefully, the information shared in this presentation will help you draft your first essay.
