The introduction paragraph.
The standard five paragraph essay consists of three parts: the introduction, the body and the conclusion. The introduction sets the foundation of the paper and is concluded with the thesis statement, which is what the rest of the paper will address. The body consists of three paragraphs, each started with a topic sentence that directly supports the thesis statement. After each topic sentence within each body paragraph is 3-5 sentences providing specific support for the topic sentence of the paragraph. The conclusion wraps everything back together and connects back to the introduction. The key components are clarity of the thesis and topic sentences, direct support for each statement made and a good flow from one sentence to the next.
The thesis is the main idea of your essay. While many essay writers will experiment with the location of their thesis, the traditional location of the thesis sentence is in the first paragraph.Consider that the traditional essay has the following contruction:The indroductory paragraphThe first support paragraphThe second support paragraphThe third support paragraphThe conclusionEach paragraph is constructed as if it was a mini-essay withing the greater essay. That is each paragraph should have an introductory sentence, three body (support) sentences. Then, the concluding sentence. In the introduction, your thesis sentence should appear in the first half of the paragraph. Many traditionally constructed essays will place the thesis in the second, third, or forth sentence with at least three supporting sentences following.So, at the absolute minimum, your essay should be constructed of five paragraphs of five sentences each for a total of twenty-five sentences.Keep in mind that this is an absolute minimum, and to do the minimum may result in the minimum grade.Keep in mind also that this essay is your opinion, what you think. The work you do will reflect your attitude about what you think. That is, if you do not believe what you think to be important, your paper will reflect this; it will be substandard, and your grade will likely be also.
