Four Square writing is a way to help you organize your ideas when writing an essay. We will use a graphic organizer to help us arrange our thoughts. Then, we will use this to write sentences and paragraphs.
The standard method is to draw four rectangles on a sheet of paper, and then draw another rectangle in the center, as shown here.
However, we are going to do this on our computers. Click on the image or here to download a blank Four Square document for Inspiration. When the file downloads, click "Open with Inspiration."
Type the main idea of your essay in the center rectangle. This may also become the title of your essay.
