Introduction starting broad, but getting more specific as to what I’m talking about, strong thesis
Use quotes and supporting evidence, relating back to thesis
Develop a Naysayer, Barclay, or TREAC paragraph in my essay
Keep my ideas all together, not scattered around my paper and have smooth transitions
Good conclusion wrapping up everything I stated in my essay, restating thesis
Make conversation and state my opinions with the authors
Talk about how there’s lack of creativity because of a structured learning system
Talk about how art isn’t seen as important as to other subjects, but should be because it gives students a break from basic subjects, an escape from reality
State how art is mostly just an option and keeps getting cut in school
Talk about how mental illness affects someone’s academic performance
State how art being a requirement can be a coping mechanism (like stress) for students with mental illnesses and developing creativeness
Talk about how art is essential to help people learn in unique and different ways, putting those skills to use towards the subjects of STEM
Talk about how art can bring people closer together. Ex) music interests: my experience meeting people with similar music tastes and how it can build conversations/friendships
