III. WRITING SAMPLES
Sample Student Introduction 1:
This introduction
does a great job of
explaining what the
Industrial
Revolution was, but
is still missing a
thesis. It says its
effects were seen in
the working class,
but doesn’t identify
whether they were
ultimately positive
or negative.
Sample Student Introduction 2:
This introduction
also does a great
job of explaining
what the Industrial
Revolution was and
why it was
important.
What makes is
stronger is that part
at the bottom. The
student identifies
that ultimately it
was a “blessing,”
but for the working
class during the
time, it was a
“curse.” This is a
strong thesis.
6
Sample Student Body Paragraph:
This is a strong body
paragraph. It starts off with a
basic topic sentence that
allows them to expand on it
as the paragraph continues.
Student has document
evidence, but does not just
copy from the document or
describe it. However, I
would have liked a specific
quote from the document in
the paragraph.
The student adds to the
information in the document
and includes outside
information about diseases
and alcoholism to help
further make their point.
Sample Student Conclusion:
This is a good
example of a
conclusion. The
student restates the
main ideas and
summarizes their
points.
Finally, they restate
their thesis at the
end.
