Introduction

An introduction answers certain questions that your reader will want to know in simple and clear terms:

• What is the subject of the essay (context)

• why is this topic significant (rationale)

• what is your position (thesis statement)

• what are your main arguments? Or, in which direction will this essay go? (essay map)

The first two or three sentences should be direct, focused, and converge on to the thesis statement. The thesis statement is the most important sentence in the introduction. It makes a claim that is thought-provoking and open to argument. Take your time to formulate your thesis. It not only tells your reader what to expect; it also provides a plan for your essay.

Body

This is the largest and the most important part of an essay, where the main question is addressed. It must be developed chronologically based on the subject matter, and being guided by the outline given in the introduction. In order to come up with a proper and well-organized body, it is imperative that you develop a paper outline so that you are aware of what you need to cover.

In the body:

• Arrange your paragraphs according to the points you will address

• Each point to occupy a paragraph

• Each paragraph must have a topic sentence, evidence, and conclusion

• You must have a number of citations in each paragraph, which must ONLY fall under the evidence part of the paragraph

• Your paragraph must be chronologically arranged, as guided by your outline, and introduction

Important to note is that each paragraph is also organized into introduction, body, and conclusion as shown below:

Paragraph Dichotomy

• Introduction /Topic Sentence – this is the sentence that gives the main point of the para, as directed by the thesis statement/ content /roadmap.

• Body/evidence – this is where you go the literature to support your point. Also, this part needs sufficient citations, since you’re borrowing from literature.

• Conclusion – this is a closing remark on the discussion fronted in the para. It should not be cited. This sentence is also very crucial as it must clearly contain a smooth transition from its current para, to the next.
