How to Write a Awesome High School English Commentary Essay
Hi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm going to teach you how to write a really cool English essay for high school. My big sister is in high school and she's always stressing out about having to write these big commentary essays. But I've been watching her and I think I've figured out the secret formula!
First, you need to have a thesis statement. That's like the super important one-sentence idea that your whole essay is going to be about. It should answer the prompt or essay question directly. For example, if the prompt asks "Was Shakespeare's play Hamlet a success or a failure?", your thesis could be "Shakespeare's play Hamlet was an outstanding success that changed theatre forever." See how it takes a clear stance? That's key!
Next comes the introduction paragraph. This is where you get to hook the reader and make them want to keep reading your essay. You can start with an interesting fact, rhetorical question, famous quote, or even a funny joke if you want! Then you'll restate your thesis and give a little preview of the examples
or evidence you'll use in the body paragraphs to support your main idea.
Okay, now it's time for the meat of the essay - the body paragraphs! For a high school English commentary, you'll probably need 3-5 body paragraphs. Each one should start with a clear topic sentence that supports your thesis. Then you'll need examples, evidence, quotes from the text, etc. to prove your point. After stating your examples, make sure to analyze and explain why that evidence is important and how it ties back to your main argument. The end of each body paragraph should have a concluding sentence to wrap it all up too.
When writing the examples, make sure to quote from the book, poem, play, or whatever the assignment is about. Integrating quotes seamlessly into your own words is an important skill. Something like "In Act 3 Scene 2, Hamlet declares 'Alas, poor Yorick!' as he contemplates mortality while holding a skull." See how I set up the quote? The quote should never just be randomly stuck into the paragraph.
For evidence beyond quotes, you can also use things like:
Descriptions of important events or scenes
Explanations of symbols, metaphors, or motifs
Analysis of characters' traits, motivations, and development
Discussion of the historical/cultural context
Connections to themes, messages, and the author's purpose
Just make sure all of your evidence is clearly relevant to your thesis statement. If it doesn't directly support your main argument, then it doesn't belong in the essay!
Once you've got all your awesome body paragraphs written out, it's time to wrap things up with a conclusion paragraph. Basically, you'll want to restate your thesis in a new way, then quickly summarize the main examples or evidence you used in the body. End with some kind of broader significance, impact, insight or final thought that really drives your central claim home.
And that's it - the not-so-secret formula for writing a kickin' high school English commentary essay! Make sure you have a focused thesis statement, an engaging introduction, lots of specific supportive examples in the body paragraphs, and a conclusion that leaves the reader convinced. Follow those steps and you'll be knocking those essays out of the park in no time!
Just remember to use your best vocabulary words, write in a formal academic voice, Quote direct evidence like a pro, stay
organized with clear paragraphs, and most importantly, make sure to always always answer the prompt! If you do all that, high school English will be a piece of cake. Good luck essay writing, my friends!。
