Introduction

The introduction should start with a general discussion of yoursubject and lead to a very specific statement of your main point,or thesis. Sometimes an essay begins with a "grabber," such as achallenging claim, or surprising story to catch a reader's attention.The thesis should tell in one (or at most two) sentence(s), what

your overall point or argument is, and briefly, what your mainbody paragraphs will be about.

For example, in an essay about the importance of airbags in cars,the introduction might start with some information about caraccidents and survival rates. It might also have a grabber aboutsomeone who survived a terrible accident because of an airbag.

The thesis would briefly state the main reasons for recommendingairbags, and each reason would be discussed in the main body of the essay.

contained three main ideas, you will have three bodyparagraphs. Start by writing down one of your mainideas, in sentence form.

If your essay topic is a new university in yourhometown, one of your main ideas may be

"population growth of town" you might say this:

The new university will cause a boom in the

population of Fort Myers.

closure, summing up the essay's points or

providing a final viewpoint about the topic.

The conclusion should consist of three or four

convincing sentences. Clearly review the

main points, being careful not to restate

them exactly, or briefly describe your opinion
