BASIC ESSAY FORMAT:

• INTRODUCTION. One paragraph that consists of a thesis statement and background information to understand the topic. This statement provides the main idea / your argument, and also conveys your purpose for writing. A three-part thesis statement can be very effective.

• BODY. Composed of at least three paragraphs, illustrating the main ideas and sub-ideas, with the use of strong topic sentences.

• CONCLUSION. One paragraph that wraps up or sums up the argument, offering no new information. The thesis is often restated here, but in a new way (ie. not in the same words)
