Informative Essay Planner

Plan an essay that informs: an introduction, main ideas grouped into paragraphs with supporting facts, linking words, and a conclusion.

  1. 1.
    Introduction: name your topic and tell the reader what they will learn.
  2. 2.
    Main idea 1, plus supporting facts, definitions or examples.
  3. 3.
    Main idea 2, plus supporting facts, definitions or examples.
  4. 4.
    Linking words I will use to connect ideas (also, for example, because, therefore).
  5. 5.
    Conclusion: sum up what the reader has learned.

Check your plan

  • I grouped related information into paragraphs
  • Each main idea has supporting facts or examples
  • I used precise topic words and defined them
  • I linked ideas with transition words
  • My conclusion relates to the information
