What is Power Writing?
·
Power Writing is a writing system that assigns a number to each different
type of sentence in a paragraph.
o The number 1 is assigned to
the main idea sentence of a paragraph.
o The number 2 is assigned to
the major detail sentences in a paragraph.
o The number 3 is assigned to
the supporting detail or example sentences.
o The number 1 is assigned again to
conclusion sentences.
o A zero (0) sentence is a
“bridge, hook,voice” sentence to be used at the beginning of paragraphs or essays as an
attention-getting sentence and at the end of essays as a culminating, broad
statement about the importance of what was discussed in the bulk of the essay.

These can be combined in countless ways to form simple
paragraphs, complex paragraphs with textual evidence, or entire essays.
