Intro to Essay Writing Power Point
We learned the basics of essay writing and turned our last PEC paragraph into one!!!
Intro:
Cake is amazing. People enjoy many types of cake, especially brownie, cupcake, and ice cream.
Evidence 1:
Brownie cake is chocolaty and delightful. When fresh out of the oven, brownies are warm and gooey, dense and chewy.
Evidence 2:
Cupcakes are individual sweet treats that are fluffy and delicious and can be customized to your liking – icing, sprinkles, frosting, and fruit.
Evidence 3:
Ice cream cake is fantastic because it is like a two-for-one, a cake and ice cream all in one! Ice cream is cool and cooling in the summer time.
Conclusion: Conclusion
In conclusion, one can see there are many types of cakes and all of them are awesome.
