Focus on a purpose
Define:
Focusing
on purpose means that I have to stay on the same subject throughout my essay
and stay on track with that the whole time.
Explain:
In
my narrative essay, my purpose was to ................. and
I did that throughout my essay. In the
first paragraph I wrote: “(insert your quote here).” This is about .................., so that
shows me focusing on a purpose. In my
second paragraph, I wrote, “………………” and you can see I’m still writing about the
same thing. Lastly, in my conclusion I
wrote, “………………….” and that shows that I am still focusing on my purpose. From all of these examples, it is clear I can
focus on a purpose in my essays.
