This is how your introduction will be graded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">2. Assertion: (the \u201ctopic sentence\u201d or main point) Assertions are like mini-thesis statements that explain what the body paragraph will be about, and make a specific point. They are not summaries or general statements. These are usually only one sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">3. Example: (the \u201cconcrete detail\u201d) The example is just as it sounds. It is the evidence that you will use to support your assertion. Examples can be direct quotes or a brief paraphrase of the text you are using. Remember to always cite your sources and introduce your quotations with signal phrases, such as, \u201cAccording to\u2026\u201d Also remember that your example cannot make your point for you, and will need to be explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">4. Explanation: (the \u201ccommentary\u201d or \u201canalysis\u201d) The explanation will show the reader how the example supports the assertion. This is your analysis. If you are using a long example, make sure to explain all of it. The explanation section should be about twice as long as your example and should make up a majority of your paragraph. This is where you argue your point in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">5. Significance: (the \u201crelevance\u201d to the paper) The significance of the paragraph explains how everything you just proved in your specific example is still related back to the overall thesis of your paper. You do not have to refer to your whole thesis, but rather the most relevant part of it. This is usually about one to two sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">6.
