Although the introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of your essay, it does not necessarily have to be the paragraph that you WRITE first -
some people find it easier to write the introduction after they are finished, when they have a better idea of the order and flow of their essay. Others find that writing the introduction first helps to get them organized and keep them on track.
Whenever you choose to write your introduction is up to you, but the structure of the paragraph will be the same either way:
Begin with your Thesis Statement so that your reader knows exactly where the essay is going
Provide a brief description of the Body Paragraphs - tell your reader how you will prove and explain your thesis
Your conclusion paragraph must begin with a restating of your thesis, followed by a brief summary of all the evidence you presented to support your argument.
Keep it short, sweet, and to the point -
the reader has just finished the essay, so you only want to sum up what they have read, not tell them everything all over again.
You did all that planning, pre-writing, and organizing, but if you skip this step then you've only done half the work...and you'll only get half the marks you really deserve.
When you edit an essay, there are a few things you want to look for:
Did I answer the question? And does my answer match my thesis?
Does the structure of my essay follow the outline I gave in my introduction?
Does my conclusion match my thesis? And does my summary match the structure of the essay?
Does every paragraph start with a clear and confident Topic Sentence (and does my Introduction begin with my Thesis Statement)?
Does each paragraph follow the Point-Proof-Explanation model? And did I effectively prove and explain my points?
Have I spelled everything properly? ESPECIALLY the characters' names from the play?
Did I use proper grammar and sentence structure?
It never hurts to get someone else to proofread your essay - there will always be things that you miss when you are reading your own work
This type of essay is all about explaining or describing something
Try and convince a reader of a point of view using arguments that support a position.
Uses a single well told story as the basis for drawing a conclusion or making a statement of opinion.
Combines reasoned arguments with the emotion required to persuade the reader to take action
Examples of Argumentative essays could be:Why XBox is better than PS3,Facebook should be allowed in schools, Ford or Dodge: Which car company has a better warranty plan?
Examples of essay titles would be:The care and use of a 10 speed bicycle. How to use mine craft to impress people
For example “My Most Exciting Bicycle Adventure” would be a narrative essay.
For example, an essay entitled Save the Ozone and Stimulate your Heart: Leave Your Car at Home and Bicycle” would be a persuasive essay.
