Research Essay Structure (20R)
• You usually write a research essay on a general or
broad topic (a larger topic) and then break that down
into narrow topics to support your larger idea.
• Chezlette is my research topic (very broad, general, or
large)
• Traditions, Religion, Food, and Location are more
narrow, specific, or small subtopics to give more
information about my larger topic.
• These subtopics can be broken down even further to
provide even more information. Example: Religion can
be broken down to Christianity, Islam, and Voodoo.

Example 1-2 Introduction Paragraph
Have you ever wanted to go to Chezlette?
Well, I have and I did some research on it.
Chezlette is in Africa and they have lots of
stuff there. The culture in Chezlette has
music, food, religion, education, and location.
Example 4 Introduction Paragraph
How do chocolate covered cockroaches sound? The people of
Chezlette eat these little critters as a treat. There are all sorts of
different varieties including dark chocolate, white chocolate, and
almond fudge covered cockroaches (“Chez Culture”). Chezlette
has been an independent country since 1958, when they
separated away from Ghenda. Chezlette is a place where one
could come across an elephant and a zebra while taking a stroll
around the neighborhood. Chezlette is located in the rain forest
in Africa, and has become a popular spot for tourist to come and
visit (“Chezlette”). Chezlette’s cuisine mixes African favorites
with Spanish flavors. The people of Chezlette go to school until
they are eleven years old, at which point many of the people
dedicate their lives to spreading the Halta religion. The music of
Chezlette is like nothing we have in the United States, as it is
composed with everyday tools (Smith 67).

neighborhood. Chezlette is located in the rain forest in Africa,
and has become a popular spot for tourist to come and visit
(Every Culture). Chezlette’s cuisine mixes African favorites with
Spanish flavors. The people of Chezlette go to school until they
are eleven years old, at which point many of the people dedicate
their lives to spreading the Halta religion. The music of Chezlette
is like nothing we have in the United States, as it is composed
with everyday tools (Smith 67).
Example 1-2 Body Paragraph
The music of Chezlette is cool because they
make music with tools and stuff like that. I
think their music is lame but also kinda cool.
They make this one kind of music called
Zimma, which is the best one they make.
They bang on trash can lids. I tried this at
home, and it sounded awesome. They also
have religion in Chezlette.
Example 4 Body Paragraph
The music of Chezlette is composed with everyday
tools and objects that one might not think could even
make music. The people of Chezlette make music called
Zimma, which has an upbeat tempo and includes singing
(Gregor 55-56). Zimma is typically created by banging a
rock on a metal trashcan lid, while another person sings
the melody (“Chez Culture”). Zimma has begun to make
its way to the United States in various forms. Some rock
bands use this method to create an interesting
combination with their electric guitars. Handza is
another type of popular music in Chezlette, which is
played during church every Saturday. The people of
Chezlette use two spoons to create music while they are
worshipping their gods (Gregor 66).

Example of a 1-2 Conclusion Paragraph
In conclusion, Chezlette is a cool culture that
has lots of different music, food, religion,
education, and location. People should try to go
to Chezlette and see for themselves. I think one
day I will go there if I can save up enough
money. This is the end of my research essay.
Example of a 4 Conclusion Paragraph
The people of Chezlette have a diverse yet simple
culture that includes delicious foods, interesting music,
vast lands, polytheistic religious views, and an intense
education system. Throughout my research I have
learned that the people of Chezlette place far more
importance on religion than on education. Chezlette is a
country about the size of Texas, but it contains a rich and
exotic culture that makes people flock to it as a common
vacation spot (Smith 110). Although there are many
differences in the cultures of the United States and
Chezlette, there are also many similarities like the
delicious foods and seasonal traditions. The culture of
Chezlette is unique to its roots and people, while
remaining up-to-date with the rest of the world.

holidays, music, dance, festival, etc.

– Either in the introduction paragraph for the background info or
in the school system section.
