Component
Content
Conditions
Topic Introduction
In drafting the introduction, consider including the following elements:
Start with an attention grabber or hook: an extremely poignant but simple-to-the-point story, an example, statistic, or historical context that introduces the essay’s topic. Then, give an overview of any issues involved with the subject. Define any key terminology needed to understand the topic. Quote or paraphrase sources revealing the controversial nature of the subject. Highlight background information on the topic needed to understand the direction of the paper
Your main claim, and in brief, the reasons supporting the claim. (1-2 sentences)
Top Tip: Aim for at least six to eight sentences here, to allow for full forecasting of the rest of the essay.
The thesis / main claim should be underlined.
Top Tip: The thesis is the main claim!
Body
Clearly present the reasons in the order as listed with the main claim in paragraph 1.
Provide warrants to connect each reason; then, explore the reason with evidence.
You will want to bring up a counterargument and rebuttal with each noted reason.
Top Tip: Make sure to use strong transitions to help readers move more easily with you, from one idea (and one paragraph) to the next.
Conclusion
Restate your claim. Attempt to not copy verbatim from the introduction.
Briefly summarize each “reason” found in the body of the paper.
End with a strong clincher statement: an appropriate, meaningful final sentence that ties the whole point of the essay together (you may want to refer back to the attention grabber or hook noted in paragraph 1)
Top Tip: You should plan to really grab the readers’ attention one last time here–to leave them with some final food for thought.
Works Cited
Plan to include 6 sources here (and each source should also be cited directly in the essay, as in-text citations).
Top Tip: As a reminder, sources cited on your “Works Cited” page should also be cited within your essay. You may use all, some or none of the sources you originally read to prepare for all of the other assignments in this course. Use sources that best help you to prove your thesis; this may mean choosing new, or some new, articles.
Note: 6 sources minimum.

Includes properly formatting in-text citations and the Works Cited page. (6 sources minimum.) The thesis should be underlined.
