This is your chance to experiment a little. Using the material that you have from your research, write a 250 or so word paragraph. Choose a method of development that you will NOT be using in your essay, or that you have not thought of as the primary method for your essay. For example, if your essay is about the economic impact of the new Pacific Sports Institute on Camosun College, and you plan to do a cause/effect analysis, write a description of how it will look when it is built, or a section of a process essay on the building, or a narrative of a “day in the life” of a student there. Get the idea? Perhaps this exercise will give you some ideas or new insights about different and interesting ways to develop your essay!
By the way, don’t forget to cite – even if it’s just one citation at the end of your paragraph and a note afterward with the bibliographic details.
