The following is a paragraph done for this week's assignment using the essay boilerplate. 

NOTE: All students must use the topic sentences and thesis sentence provided! I have received two essays where students did not follow instructions. Unfortunately, they have been returned.

Sample Body Paragraph One

     My participation in group work has been an interesting experience, and has benefited me as a student. (topic sentence, given by teacher)

When I worked with my classmates on the definition of the word, “freedom,” I felt very dissatisfied with my group. One person spoke too much, and so I didn’t have enough time to speak by myself. This made that group a poor one for me that day. (Example one: on my feelings in the group)

However, another time, we worked together on poetry. This time, the group members helped me to understand the term rhyme better than before. One of them was very good with sound, so helped all of us understand. (Example two: using group brainpower)

So, my experiences in the group were interesting and sometimes benefited me, but not always. (concluding both of my examples; positive and negative in my case)
