Write an essay profiling a person, group, place, or activity.
I personally would like to use the black lives matter movement.
You need to decide how to organize your essay. The most common ways are called topical and narrative.
You also need to decide your role as the author. You can write as a spectator or as a participant-observer. If you write as a participant, include a description of your own specific part.
Be sure to include a lot of specific detail. That make your profile come alive for your readers.
notes:
A profile essay describes the subject with enough detail so that we can picture it.
In the first paragraph, introduce your profile subject in the first sentence. This will that convey the dominant impression—the main point you want your reader to remember.
The remainder of the first paragraph will summarize the main points in the body of your essay. This is a preview of what’s to come.
The body of your essay will follow your organization plan. If you organize by topic, each paragraph will expand a specific point. If you organize by narrative, be sure to not adhere to a strict time sequence.
Pay attention to the lengths of your paragraphs. Long paragraphs are hard to read!
At the end, include a short conclusion paragraph.
