  5. Tone • Watch tone; you don’t want to be too argumentative, assuming, all knowing. Just state the facts

  6. Thesis • Thesis is the MOST specific sentence in introduction. • Transplant patients should not have to pay for their new organs. • I think all body enhancing agents should be illegal for professional athletes. • All middle school classrooms should be comprised of the same gender because the students will learn better, more conflicts will be avoided and teachers will be more effective. • A democracy if the best form of government. • Barack Obama is the first black president. • The reason I was voting for Obama was because if McCain died, Governor Palin would become President; also, Obama would be a change for our country, and lastly Obama’s presidential candidate Biden has more experience that Palin.

  7. Conclusion • A conclusion should not be introducing any new information.
