  3. Introduction • Opening Sentences: • Capture your reader’s attention (USE A HOOK!) • Narrow to the subject of paper • Provide background information on topic and or materials to be covered (i.e. title/author of book, time period of study, experiment conducted) That is so interesting! I think I will read!

  4. Introduction • Thesis • Answer to the question asked/statement of point to be proven (usually a single sentence); focuses essay that follows; offers insight/premise • Forecast • A sentence or sentences indicating the subtopics or subdivisions of support that will follow, in the order in which they will appear.

  5. BODY • Topic • Identifies subject of paragraph and relates it to thesis and essay; helps develop the thesis • Analysis of topic sentence • Aspect of thesis introduced in topic sentence is developed further

  6. BODY • Evidence/Interpretation of evidence • Evidence that supports thesis and topic sentence; interpretation/analysis or commentary of evidence follows immediately • Anchor • Final sentence of paragraph that connects evidence and interpretation of evidence to thesis/topic sentence; refreshes reader’s mind about purpose/value of paper without becoming repetitive; allows for clear connection between anchor and next body paragraph or conclusion

  7. Conclusion • Summary • Brief restatement of thesis that does not simply repeat it; brief reminder of points used to prove thesis. • Intensified Insight • Statement that deeps the idea of the thesis without introducing new topics that require additional proof and leaving the read with “food for thought”
