Essay: Workplace
The 1st paragraph in red (introduction) reflects the four Sub-Topics in yellow.  The next four paragraphs expand the areas in yellow with details and/or examples (white circles).  Please see the sample below.

Clustering or diagramming: Sample of brainstorming and organization
 
The actual organization and writing would look something like this:
  1. Paragraph #1: three to four sentences are created from the "yellow" circles.  For example: "Working in a production plant was the worst job I ever had.  I had terrible bosses who were awful to work with.  The work was hard and boring as well as noisy. But the worst was the lack of dental and health insurance and not being paid enough to live on."  The sentences in the BLUE would be your "introductory paragraph."
  2. Paragraph #2: Five to six sentences that explain and provide examples about bad pay.
  3. Paragraph #3: Five to six sentences that explain and provide examples about hard work.
  4. Paragraph #4: five to six sentences that explain and provide examples about bad bosses.
  5. Paragraph #4: five to six sentences that explain and provide examples about poor working conditions.
  6. Paragraph #4: Two to six sentences that restate what you said in Paragraph #1, the introductory paragraph.

Clustering or diagramming: Blank Cluster Chart.
