How to write introduction, thesis statement and conclusion.

Introduction:

An essay’s introduction is usually a single paragraph that introduces the reader to the essay’s subject matter. Also an introduction it must be the “first paragraph (or paragraphs) of any written work” (Leo). A good introduction has many features.  The first of these is the "hook" which draws the reader into the paper.

 

The introduction does the following:

·         Grapes the reader’s attention

·         Introduces the reader to the essay’s topic

·         State the essay’s thesis

 

 What goes on in an introduction?

·         Hook sentences

·         Supporting sentences

·         Thesis statement

 

 

 

What is the Thesis Statement?

 

The thesis statement is a sentence (or sentences) that state the main idea or argument in the essay. Also the thesis statement is not the title and it must be a complete sentence that explains in some detail what you expect to write about. However, the thesis statement provides the point to prove, presents the argument your essay in a concise form and gives the structure the essay will follow.

 

 

Types of thesis statement: there are two types of thesis statements.

·         An Open Thesis does not contain the body points.

Example, everyone should drive a hybrid car

·         A Closed Thesis includes the points.

Example, everyone should drive a hybrid car because they pollute less, they get better mileage, and they help reduce gasoline costs.

 

 What is the Conclusion?

As we learned the conclusion is the last paragraph in the essay that includes the main point and summarizing the whole body paragraphs. Also, it could state the opinions, suggestions or wishes of the writer. According to Uni learning website “the conclusion is the function of the essay’s conclusion is to restate the main argument”.
