Hope this helps.
For the graphic organizer, you title the center shape with the subject, and the surrounding shapes provide more information.
From here you start your essay using your graphic organizer.
1 The introduction will be about your topic, and the main points
2 Next you write your body paragraph(s) For 150 words, one paragraph is fine, but depending on your prompt you will want 2 or 3 at least. Make sure each paragraph flows into the next using transition words.
3 Here you will summarize your text with the main points just like the intro, including some new info your reader has learned.
This should get you started. If you need more help, you can message me and I'd be glad to answer any more questions. :)
