Week 20
Outlining: esquema del ensayo.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Constructs a formal outline of an opinion essay, defining the thesis statement and paragraph divisions.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Essay Outline structure: Introduction (Hook + Thesis), Body Paragraph 1 (Argument 1 + Example), Body Paragraph 2 (Argument 2 + Example), Conclusion (Restate thesis + final thought).
• Thesis Statement: A single sentence that states your main point/opinion clearly.
• Planning: Planning ensures logical flow and prevents getting stuck during drafting.

Practical Challenge: The Outline Blueprint

Write the complete outline of your opinion essay using a structured template, drafting your thesis statement in bold.

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Teacher check: Validate that the thesis statement is debateable and clearly states the student's opinion.
