Index by EWP Vocabulary and Key Aspects of Essays
You will see that we have indexed five elements of the EWP Vocabulary. This is largely because some elements (like Signposting, Argument, and Idea) are global structural moves which happen across every essay in the issue. Your understanding of these larger elements will develop in the classroom and in your practice of writing. Below you will find exceptional examples of mid-level structural moves that you are likely to encounter as you study and practice the forms of essay. You’ll notice a range of approaches in thinking and style for each element indexed.
