Tips of writing introduction, body paragraph and Conclusion:
I am writing you with a summary of what we did, along with a list of our
reference documents to use in writing your paper.
Introductory paragraph structure (150 – 200 words)*:
S1 – introduce the topic
S2 – identify how the text deals with that topic
S3 – identify the weird/interesting/questionable part of the topic in the
text; what does it refute? what new think does it suggest?
S4 – thesis
A thesis is your own unique claim about what you think is happening with
that idea in the text. A thesis can be two sentences, so don't try to squish
too many words in before the period.
Body paragraph
structure: https://twp.duke.edu/sites/twp.duke.edu/files/file-
attachments/meal-plan.original.pdf
Every body paragraph should have a Main idea (topic sentence), Evidence
(citation using MLA), Analysis, and a Link to the thesis
We can estimate that a body paragraph is about 200 – 250 words*.
Conclusion paragraph structure (150 – 200 words)*:
S1 – restate the thesis
S2/3 – summarize main arguments that you used to justify this thesis in
the essay body
S4/5 – identify what further questions your research suggests, and/or how
it could be applied to another field or idea
*Word counts are suggestions; what's most important is that a paragraph
is a digestible piece of text that effectively contributes to the purpose of
that paragraph.
