Example of an Essay Format:
\nFor folks who need ideas and help with how to structure the essay.
\nIntroduction:
\n\t\u2022\tGive a bit of background on spirituals (a few sentences). What are they? What are some of their origins? Just enough info to introduce the topic.
\n\t\u2022\tAfter you’ve given some background: State your main argument, or thesis. You will spend the rest of your essay providing examples to support, or prove, your argument. Your thesis\/argument for this paper may look something like: “Spirituals represent Black art as resistance because__________(how is this so, in a general sense). Your thesis should be 1-2 sentences.
\nBody Paragraphs:
\n\t\u2022\tIn each body paragraph, you will provide examples that prove, or support, your thesis\/argument. Keep your body paragraphs focused on the specific example you are discussing. This is where many people go wrong. They will introduce new examples without fully, and adequately discussing the examples they started with. This has the effect of making the essay all over the place and unfocused. I recommend one example per body paragraph, that way, it is easier to keep your essay focused. For the entire essay, you may have anywhere from 2-4 body paragraphs. Here is how to format individual body paragraphs.
\n\t\u25e6\tIntroduce example (provide any necessary context or useful information pertaining to your example
\n\t\u25e6\tState what the exact example is
\n\t\u25e6\tWhy does this example support\/prove your thesis? How does this example tie into your thesis? Why is it relevant?
\n\t\u2022\tConclusion:
\n\t\u25e6\tDo not introduce new information\/new examples
\n\t\u25e6\tSummarize what you have argued
\n\t\u25e6\tReiterate thesis\/main point
\n\t\u25e6\tLeave the reader with “food for thought”…meaning- what is the larger meaning\/significance of what you have written. Keep this brief (1-2 sentences). It’s a nice way to wrap up an essay without being redundant or introducing new information
