As you write your essay please consider the following information relating to the introduction, the body and the conclusion of your essay. Your essay must include fully formed paragraphs. You must not include bullet points in your essay.
Introduction–The purpose of the introductory paragraph is to tell the reader what you are going to write about and to inspire him/her to want to read your essay. Please make sure that you introductory paragraph includes the following information. You will need to start with a topic sentence that introduces the main idea of the essay. You will also need to include sentences that identify and explain the main ideas discussed in the body of your essay (this is the preview). Next, you need to motivate the reader to continue reading by telling the reader why your topic is important or significant or identify a problem or issue that your essay responds to. In some cases you will need to provide background information and/or definitions of terms or concepts. You will also need to include a thesis statement. A thesis is a “succinct sentence or sentences located in the introduction of an essay that state the writer’s argumentative stance and conclusion in relation to the question ” (Nash, 2013). Lastly, you should include some sort of concluding or linking sentences that bridges the introductory paragraph to the first body paragraph. Having written your introduction, your next task is to write the body paragraphs.

The following information tells you what you need to include in each body paragraph. Each body paragraph must include a clearly stated topic sentence that states the main idea(s) that will be discussed within the paragraph. You will then need to include sentences that develop the idea(s) stated in the topic sentence. In doing so you can identify a sub point and then provide a specific example, explain the example, discuss the significance of the example and link the sub point back to the topic sentence or to the next sub point or paragraph. If your paragraph does contain a number of sub points, please make sure that they are linked together. Lastly, you should include some sort of concluding or linking sentences that joins the first body paragraph to the second body paragraph.
