WRITNG YOUR INTRODUCTION

• HOOK: Make a general claim/statement using the MAIN IDEA! (usually just one word) “fame” “disasters” “flaws”

Great HOOK: People often show what they are made of when they are faced with disaster.• REFERENCE THE WORK(S): Introduce the title or titles of the text and

connect them with a theme, plot, or main idea. Ex. In “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding and “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury both authors share their vision of a society that has gone wrong.• THESIS STATEMENT: The last sentence of your introduction should

make a more specific claim that “previews” your essay and answers the prompt.

• Great thesis statement: The author of “Lord of the Flies” and “Fahrenheit 451” would agree that people’s best intentions can have negative outcomes.

DON’T USE ANY QUOTES OR EVIDENCE BASED TERMS!

USE THEM IN YOUR BODY PARAGRAPHS!


BODY PARAGRAPHS

• USUALLY Body 1 & Body 2 will begin with a reference to the work AND a statement that answers the prompt.

• BODY 1: EX: “In LORD OF THE FLIES,” the main character Ralph struggles with...”

• USUALLY Body 3 will begin with something like, “Both passages demonstrate/illustrate/depict/show...”

reader -makes him or her feel that you truly supported your thesis.

• You just need three to four strong sentences.• Rephrase the main points of your argument without

restating them exactly

• End with a sentence that rephrases your thesis. DO NOT introduce any new evidence

or information.


MAKE SURE TO BREAK DOWN THE PROMPT

• S. How many STEPS are in this question?• A. What is the question ASKING me to do?• F. FIND the KEY WORDS in the prompt that help you know what to do? Ask

yourself, what do these words mean?• E. Always include EVIDENCE to support your argument.

• CITING EVIDENCE: Use at least two pieces of evidence. Use “short quotes” and don’t forget to paraphrase the quote right after using it.

• EX: John “pushed the bully and ran.” John was tired of being picked on and used physical force before running to an adult for help.

• Use EBTS: EVIDENCE BASED TERMS: because, for instance, according to the text, for example, the author states, in paragraph three…
