Each ingredient of the hamburger represents a different paragraph of the essay. It starts with an introduction paragraph and ends with a conclusion paragraph, represented by the top and bottom buns, respectively. Just like a real burger bun, these paragraphs frame the juicy contents inside – the body paragraphs – which are each represented by a different topping: lettuce, tomato, or patty.

Pay attention to the order of toppings in the hamburger essay. The lettuce comes first; it’s light and flimsy, representing one of the lighter arguments of the paper. The tomato is somewhat more robust (in terms of argument), while the patty at the end is the true “meat” of the essay. Just like the toppings of a hamburger in real-life, the body paragraphs build on one another to fill out the paper, giving it substance and flavour.

What is an editorial?

An editorial is a short essay that shares an individual's opinion on a current event or social issue.
The goal of a good editorial is to persuade the reader to consider your perspective and change their opinion.
Editorials often focus on controversial issues with widely different viewpoints. Your editorial should make a clear argument that reflects your stance and appeals to your audience.

Parts of an editorial

• Introduction & argument: The introduction builds a reader's interest in the topic and gives your opinion on the issue.

• Evidence: The evidence supports your argument with facts, research or anecdotes.

• Counterargument:  You should address the opposing perspective directly.

• Refutation: After sharing the counter-argument with a reader, the writer must explain why that argument is not accurate or relevant. Refuting the counterargument allows you to promote your point of view while still seeming fair.

• Conclusion: In the final paragraph of your editorial, summarize your point of view and remind the reader why they should care about this issue.
