– the essay starts with a first few sentences which are a general, captivating and interesting<\/p>\n
lead-in to the topic<\/p>\n
last sentence in introductory paragraph is the THESIS statement, which is the<\/p>\n
main point\/idea of the essay plus three illustrations. <\/p>\n
2. 1ST BODY PARAGRAPH:<\/p>\n
a) TOPIC SENTENCE (1st point in thesis)<\/p>\n
b) EXAMPLES\/QUOTATIONS<\/p>\n
c) COMMENT\/INSIGHT<\/p>\n
d) CLOSING SENTENCE (relates back to thesis)<\/p>\n
the first sentence is a TOPIC sentence, which is an exact statement of what<\/p>\n
the paragraph is going to be about. <\/p>\n
the rest of the paragraph includes specific examples and quotations from the<\/p>\n
text <\/p>\n
3. 2ND BODY PARAGRAPH:<\/p>\n
a) TOPIC\/TRANSITION SENTENCE (2nd point in thesis)<\/p>\n
b) EXAMPLES\/QUOTATIONS<\/p>\n
c) COMMENT\/INSIGHT<\/p>\n
d) CLOSING SENTENCE (relates back to thesis)<\/p>\n
N.B. Remember that topic sentences for body paragraphs #2 and #3 must also be<\/p>\n
TRANSITION sentences, which connect the essay in a “flowing,” logical order of<\/p>\n
progression. Using connective words and phrases such as “similarly,” “moreover,”<\/p>\n
“furthermore,” “in addition to,” “another example of,” and so forth, assist in<\/p>\n
constructing effective transition sentences.<\/p>\n
again, supporting quotations must illustrate this particular point, and<\/p>\n
examples must also include some insightful commentary of your own<\/p>\n
etc… <\/p>\n
5. CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
first sentence is the THESIS RE-STATEMENT, which is the main idea\/point and<\/p>\n
three supporting arguments of the essay re-worded or at least re-ordered<\/p>\n
the format of the rest of the concluding paragraph is the opposite of the<\/p>\n
introductory paragraph: instead of moving from the general to the specific, the<\/p>\n
conclusion moves from the specific to the general. Basically, it should be a general<\/p>\n
summary of the points covered in the essay and conclusions arrived at. Remember<\/p>\n
that there should be reflective analysis and insight (in every paragraph, not just this<\/p>\n
final one), and do not introduce any new ideas in the conclusion. In this case the end<\/p>\n
of the concluding paragraph moves toward the extremely general: the great<\/p>\n
tradition in literature which includes many different versions of the journey<\/p>\n
6. WORKS CITED:7<\/p>\n
at the end of your essay, start a new page and put \u201cWorks Cited\u201d centred at<\/p>\n
the top of the page on the line following the header<\/p>\n
using the works-cited style below, list all of the sources you quote from or<\/p>\n
refer to in your essay in alphabetical order by author:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
