to be the last sentence of the introduction-please make the thesis BOLD). An introduction needs to hook
the reader. Do not forget to consider your “so what” factor in your thesis. Consider reviewing Resources for
Writing an Essay: FW 2 .
-Body: This includes at least 3 aspects for helping your audience gain an understanding and passion for
your topic. Each body paragraph needs a clear topic sentence, examples and details, and a concluding

Body is where your research is placed.

paragraph is either further convincing, narration, recommendation, or solution; PLEASE NO SUMMARIES
OF YOUR PAPER IN THE CONCLUSION.
