What in the blazing **** is a two-chunk essay? I’ve heard of a five-paragraph essay, but not a two-chunk.

Oh. I see. After Googling it I see we’ve reduced the five-paragraph down to four…an opener, the "two-chunk" middle grafs, and a summary.

Sigh.

Let’s start at the beginning…

A "thesis" is the whole idea of your essay, and it’s ONE central idea that you’re trying to convince the reader of, or informing them about. So your thesis could be "Fast food causes early death," or "Fast food depresses wages and labor skills," or "Fast food increases family time." Whatever. It should be stated in your first graf.

Then you put in two grafs to support your thesis. Use direct quotes from reference material and be sure to cite them with footnotes. (A) it adds more words, (B) it backs up your paper as more than mere opinion, (C) it shows you did some research and (D) if you don’t use citations but use the author’s words it’s PLAGIARISM and can get you in lots of deep…water.

Then wrap up with a last graf reminding the (apparently slow) reader (perhaps suffering from short-term memory loss?) of the great points you brought up, and why THAT makes your first graf true and unassailable.

You can’t stretch word count. You can stretch page count, but not word count.
