Pick A Topic Ahead Of Time
The HOTH will provide the title and references. Read the instructions and research pieces first before proceeding to the next step.
Write 3 Paragraphs For Introduction
Paragraph 1: Try to get the reader’s attention and share the big idea for the article.
Paragraph 2: Try to emphasize the need for the article. Prove to the reader that they need to read this.
Paragraph 3: Explain the big idea of the article. Take a look ahead at what the reader is going to experience and learn.
Create 5 Main Points
This is your outline — five main points. Draw them from the references.
Share One Piece Of Research In Each Point
Now that you have your points clearly laid out, focus on the research element. Stick to the references provided. Check if they're linking to other research and see if you can use those.
Add Images To Prove Your Point
Break up your content with a few relevant images. The quickest way to find images is Google’s image search. For HOTH assignments, this step isn't necessary.
Create A Conclusion (As In "Conclusion")
This makes it simple for the user. They know exactly where and how the article will end. It also makes it easy for me. Don't waste time thinking of a creative twist.
Write 3 Concluding Paragraphs
Keep the paragraphs short and real. Summarize what you've discussed.
Close With A Question
It's a helpful way to encourage readers to think. It has the double benefit of providing me with an endpoint, too.
