The Anatomy of an English Paragraph (eBook)

The intent of my book is to assist writers of all ages and levels of expertise in improving their skills in discovering the attributes of successful paragraph construction with an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of writing award-winning essays. The most critical component of competitive success is the ability to translate an idea into a comprehensive written report. The MEALS (Main point, Evidence, Analysis, Logic, and synonym), an acronym, is a tool designed to act as a guide to promote ease and excellence in writing endeavors.

During his graduate work, Dr. Elsayess developed a new tool with the acronym MEALS. The MEALS method could assist while creating written works to earn a degree. In addition, using this method could allow students to move ahead with a good competency level for writing. Dr. Elsayess utilized the MEALS tool for assessing his students and developing his book.
