A mini – essay is a simple body paragraph of 8 or 11 sentences composed and arranged in the following order:
Sentence 1 – Thesis (Topic) Sentence
Sentence 2 – Concrete detail "CD"(example to prove/support #1)
Sentence 3 – Commentary "CM" (explains why/how the detail proves or clarifies the thesis
Sentence 4 – Commentary (further explains or analyzes Concrete Detail "CD")
Sentence 5 – Concrete detail (gives a second example to prove/support #1)
Sentence 6 – Commentary (explains why/how #5 relates to #1)
Sentence 7 – Commentary (further explains or analyzes CD)
Sentence 8 – Closing Commentary (summarizes paragraph, restates topic or thesis sentence, and does not introduce new information.)


An 11 – sentence mini essay adds a third concrete detail/commentary/commentary chunk to support the thesis/topic sentence.
