TITLE OF YOUR ESSAY

Essays are written to explain a process, examine something, or argue for or against a

point. The opening paragraph of your essay should contain a thesis statement, as well as capture

your reader’s attention and interest. Remember the adage, “You’ll never get another chance to

make a good first impression.”

State the main idea or topic of the paragraph in a single sentence if you can. Include at

least two ideas that support your topic sentence. Provide specific and interesting details about the

topic. If you need more than one paragraph to develop your topic, be sure to begin each new

paragraph with a transition phrase or sentence.

Your closing paragraph should connect the important points of your essay. You can either

answer any remaining questions not previously covered, or you may want to leave your readers

with a thought to ponder on their own!
