  1. Introductions Review the EWRT1A essay rubric Introductions provide orientation and framing. Framing sets limits in terms of time and space. Any term or sentence in the introduction that is too broad does not provide appropriate framing and might in fact be disorienting.

  2. Introductions Introductions introduce the thesis. Introductions introduce all of the key terms in the thesis. In other words, the thesis should appear at the end of the introduction, and the introduction makes the thesis make sense. Introductions should show relationships between key terms in the thesis.

  3. Introductions Check your introduction against your thesis. If there is a term in your thesis that is not mentioned previously in your introduction, you will need to make revisions. Possible fixes: Additional sentences. Reference to a class rather than an individual (for example, cities in California instead of a particular city).

  4. Conclusions Review the EWRT1A essay rubric Conclusions provide closure. Conclusions are not summaries. Conclusions should be thoughtful. Think of your essay as a gift.

  5. Conclusions The first sentence of your conclusion should be the strongest form of your thesis. The strongest form of your thesis should account for objections and/or limitations. The strongest form of your thesis should win over some people who would not agree with your initial thesis.

  6. Conclusions Your conclusion should be set in the present or future. Give an idea about the result of the institution or government adopting your recommendation. Note: Life will not be perfect, so do not go too far. Do not introduce new objections or limitations in the conclusion (objections and limitations need to be introduced in the body of your essay).
