THE INTRODUCTION (3 things to remember)
1) Open w/ an attention grabber to hook the audience’s interest. Consider these options:
an intriguing example a great quote that makes sense with your essay a vivid and perhaps unexpected anecdote a thought-provoking question
2) Avoid statements like, “In this paper, I will . . . . “Say what you mean in a declarative sentence. 3) Include your THESIS STATEMENT . . .
Write a 3 pronged academic thesis statement. It tells your reader what your three topics are. Your thesis is located at the end of the introduction.
PLAN IT LIKE THIS:
What are your three topics?
(What is the main idea of paragraph 1) Topic 1
(What is the main idea of paragraph 2) Topic 2
(What is the main idea of paragraph 3) Topic 3
EXAMPLES: • In order to better understand Twyla Tharp, one must be familiar with her early life, her choreography, and her life philosophy. • It is important to consider Gene Kelly's childhood, training, and career highlights.
______________________________________________THE CONCLUSION (3 things to remember)1) Never add new information in your conclusion. 2) Make your readers glad they read your essay. This last paragraph gives your reader something to take away that will help them see things differently and appreciate your essay's content.3) “The most significant thing about (your stance ) is/was (one topic paragraph point).
This should be your last or second to last sentence.
You can use a synonym for “significant” (important, inspiring, helpful, compelling, etc.).
