Your Paper Title
First answer these two questions:
What is your thesis?
(This is your current thesis statement, which may be refined as you revise your paper.)
What are your audience and purpose?
(Essays are written to specific readers for specific purposes. Who is your audience? Hint: most often the best audience is not your professor or your classmates. What is your purpose? That is, what do you expect to accomplish by writing this essay? What effect do you hope your writing will have on your reader(s)?)
The rough draft of your paper should follow:
Introduction:
(Note: Your thesis may or may not be a part of this paragraph. Your goal here is to pull your reader into your paper, to interest your reader enough that he or she will keep reading.)
Body Paragraphs:
(Note: Each paragraph should be composed of a clear topic sentence supported by relevant and specific details.)
Conclusion:
(Note: Your conclusion should not just summarize. Perhaps reflect up on the significance of the information you have conveyed in the rest of your paper. What do you want your reader to do next, after reading your essay?)
