Introductions, Conclusions, Titles (GENERAL)

 

INTRIGUING TITLES ARE ALWAYS A PLUS  
It will be connected to it in your conclusion's clincher!

__________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION 

--> Your first sentence should be an grab attention & hook the audience’s interest.

--> The middle of the intro gives background, general, and/or basic information about your following paragraphs. It introduces the body of your essay.  Depending on the type of essay, this middle section could be one sentence or up to ~three sentences. 

--> The last part of your introduction is your THESIS STATEMENT.   

Remember: 

It summarizes your 3 body paragraphs’ points.

If your essay has only 2 body paragraphs, it summarizes those.
If you have only 1 body paragraph it summarizes (with a tagline) that 1 body paragraph.

EXAMPLE: Is it possible to dance on water? If that water is frozen and the dancers wear blades on their feet, it is entirely possible and enchanting. When dancing, acrobatics, and skating meet, the result is figure skating. The art and sport of figure skating has a rich history, stringent training regimens, and exciting superstars.

CONCLUSION (special clincher rule - last 2 sentences)

--> Briefly recap the three points (paragraphs). You can elaborate (slightly). Remember! No new arguments/reasons!

--> The last paragraph should also help your reader feel glad that they read your essay.

REMEMBER THE RULE FOR THE LAST TWO SENTENCES

--> One of the sentences should tell the reader, "the most significant" point in your essay.

--> One of the sentences should repeat, reflect, or refract the topic sentence (hook) AND @ least be part of your TITLE.   (TT/CC)
