Describe how you finally achieved the result, what lesson or lessons you learned, and how you changed as a person.

Expository Essay
Step 1. Take a stand
This is a very simple and easy step in which we simply decide whether we agree or disagree with the statement and write it as a complete sentence. You’ll notice that most choices whether to agree or disagree are really easy to make. They kind of “beg” for either a positive or a negative answer. This quotation I chose just begs for you to agree with it. So, let’s make this simple decision and choose to agree with Kalantri. And let’s write out the complete main point:

Step 2. Write the thesis statement
The thesis statement must include not only your main point but also your supporting points. For a 5-paragraph essay, you always want to have three supporting points or ideas.Each of these supporting ideas will correspond to a body paragraph of your essay. To find the supporting points, you must ask yourself why you agree (or disagree) with the statement in the prompt.

Step 3. Write the Support
Our body of the essay will consist of three paragraphs, about 100 words each. If you know an exact number to shoot for in each paragraph, your life becomes a lot easier. Each paragraph must proceed from general to specific. The first sentence in a body paragraph is called a lead sentence (or a topic sentence). It is the most general sentence in the paragraph. The next most general part of a paragraph is some kind of an explanation why we believe this statement is true. And finally, the most specific part of a body paragraph is an example.

Step 4. Write the conclusion
Writing the conclusion for the CBEST expository essay is really easy. All you need to do is simply restate what you already said – in different words. That’s all.

Step 5. Write an introductory sentence
This step is easy, as well. You just want to add a sentence in the beginning of your opening paragraph, in which you introduce the main point. This introductory sentence will be the very first sentence of your essay. To write it, you need to take a step away, zoom out from your main point and provide a perspective. In other words, in this sentence you explain why what you’re about to argue is important.

Personal Essay Structure

Paragraph 1
In the first paragraph, you want to immediately answer the posed question. This will also mean that you are stating a problem that you had in the past. Describe the outer world problem.

Paragraph 2
Here, you reveal your inner world problem. This is something psychological about the situation. Think – there is a flat tire and there is a “story of the flat tire.” You also describe the situation in more detail, providing more context.

Paragraph 3
Describe what you did to overcome the situation. This is about what you did in the outer world and what challenges or problems you encountered. You did not overcome the challenge yet. You had to deal with another problem that prevented you from winning at this point.

Paragraph 4
You realize that something needs to change for you to get the result. Something in your mindset had to shift.

Paragraph 5
Describe how you finally achieved the result, what lesson or lessons you learned, and how you changed as a person.
Please note that this structure is an approximation. You are simply telling a story with a beginning, middle, and an end.
This structure gives you ideas of what to put in each paragraph. Use it as a reference when telling your story because each story is different. Also, keep in mind that if your story is somewhat simple, you can write only four paragraphs. That is okay, too. And now, let’s write an essay, using this template. Notice how this sounds familiar in terms of a Hollywood movie or any good story you’ve ever heard or read.

What is the main point that Equiano wanted the reader of this passage to understand?

Primary sources are first-hand accounts of history (e.g. letters, artifacts, skeletal remains, medical records, photographs, etc.) that come directly from the historical period one is studying. In this unit you read about slavery and the Middle Passage. After reading Olaudah Equiano’s description aboard a slave ship in the link below (a primary source, since he was there), write a 350-word MLA-styled essay that answers the following question: What is the main point that Equiano wanted the reader of this passage to understand? Was there anything specific about the slave experience? Explain your answer and support it with examples.
Primary Source: Olaudah Equiano Describes the Middle Passage, 1789

What is the relationship between culture, communication style, and preventative health practices?

Form a research question specific to the communication discipline (e.g., What is the relationship between culture, communication style, and preventative health practices? What are effects of the media on sports culture? What is the relationship between intrapersonal communication and motivation?).
Example of the Problem Statement
Here is an example of a problem statement, prepared by one of my students in a previous section of the Communication Theory course here at FIU:
Sample Problem Statement and Annotated Bibliography_SPC3210.pdf
download
You don’t need to do the annotated bibliography shown in the example.
Review of Literature (approximately 3 pages). In the Review of Literature section of your paper, you will write about your secondary sources about your selected theory (minimum of two articles). The articles must be peer reviewed articles, published in an academic journal which you find in the FIU Library data base. You may also use textbooks, not including the course textbook. You’ll write a thorough review and synthesis (not description) of the sources, with some discussion of how it connects with your problem statement. Altogether you paper should be between 3-4 pages long. Within the Review of Literature section, you will have many sub-sections with sub-headings.
Examples of the Review of Literature Here are examples of the Review of Literature: https://libguides.uwf.edu/c.php?g=215199&p=1420828
WRITING THE THEORETICAL REVIEW PAPER
5. Required Content
In your paper, you will need to address the following questions:
What research questions were the authors attempting to answer?
What methods did they use?
What did they find?
What unique information is set forth?
What consistent information is set forth?
What arguments/reading portions connect with the theory you are researching and writing about?
6. Important Content to Include with the Required Content
In addition to those questions, be sure to think about and include some thoughtful discussion on:
Theoretical approaches
Applicable traditions
Appropriate communication contexts
Implications of the theory/theories in understanding communication everyday life
Also, think about:
Communication context/level (e.g. intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, organizational, public, mass or cultural communication)
The models of communication (linear, interactional, transactional)
The value of your topic (What significance does it have? Why do you care about it? Why should anyone care about it?)
Which of the seven traditions would be best to study your topic? (socio-cultural, socio-psychological, critical, semiotic, cybernetic, rhetorical, phenomenology)
Which research approaches to knowing are important for your topic? (positivistic/empirical, interpretive, critical)?
What types of questions are important to ask about your topic? (think about epistemology, ontology, axiology)
Which approach to theory building would be important to understanding your topic? (think theory building: deduction, induction)
Respond to each of the above questions in relation to your preferred topic, and then write a research question.
Here are some examples of research questions from previous Communication Theory students here at FIU:
How are college students affected by the nonverbal communication of their romantic partners?
What is the relationship between negative intrapersonal communication and the performance of a college athlete while playing soccer (or any sport)?
What types of intrapersonal communication have the most influence on self-esteem?
How does communication in social media promote safer health practices in college students?
What effects of rhetoric promote the highest rates of voter registration among young adults in South Florida?
