-Introduction: this is where you tell your readers what the essay is about. This is also where you need to make sure that you capture the readers attention, provide background information, describe existing arguments and counterarguments.
-Body: each paragraph in the body of your paper needs to have a main point that you can support with specific evidence. That evidence must be cited appropriately and correctly. This is also where you outline opposing points of view-at least acknowledge them and, as appropriate, refuting those other claims.
-Conclusion: This is where you close the essay by briefly recapping your essay, describing its connection with similar issues, and stating the significance of your paper with future directions and implications of your research.
