Step 6. Begin drafting your paper!

The Introduction Paragraph

The introduction paragraph should orientate the reader, prepare them for the essay, and explicitly state the thesis statement. Introductions tend to be nine or less sentences and often draw upon one of the following strategies:

Historical Introduction. A brief historical review of the topic may be helpful in presenting a thesis statement.

Anecdotal Approach. A very brief story may be helpful in presenting a thesis statement.

Surprising Statement. Using a surprising statement or fact may lead a reader into a thesis statement.

Posing a Question. Sometimes posing a question as to hook the reader may lead them into a thesis statement.

The Funnel Strategy. This strategy opens with a very broad statement followed by a series of statements landing the reader onto the thesis statement.

No matter the strategy, your introduction should hook the reader and end upon your thesis statement.

Body Paragraphs

The bulk of the essay uses body paragraphs as to support the thesis statement. Strong body paragraphs contain the following elements:

- A topic sentence encapsulating and organizing the entire paragraph. 
- Potentially one or two additional sentences explaining the topic sentence. 
- Introduction, statement, and unpacking of evidence as to support the topic sentence. 
- One or two concluding sentences illustrating how the paragraph contributed to the support of the thesis statement.
