PARTS OF THE ESSAY 
THE INTRODUCTION: 
(Part One) 
1. HOOK: This grabs the reader’s attention. It can be a question, a brief story, a startling 
statistic, an interesting fact, or an appropriate and related quote. It must relate to the topic. It 
can be one or morel sentences but must be in 3
rd
 Person Only, and should combine several
2. GENERAL DISCUSSION OF TOPIC: Here you expand your hook by getting more into 
your topic. You need to look at both sides of an issue, the opinions people might have on the 
issue or topic, or just some general information about the topic. Plus, this part must connect to 
the hook and logically lead up to the thesis. However, it should not use any of the key 
points in your thesis. It will most likely be several sentences and is in 3
rd
 Person Only! 
3. THESIS: This is the sentence that tells the reader what your paper will discuss. It is the last 
sentence of your introductory paragraph, it must have three or more specific points, and the 
points must be specific yet broad enough to be developed into the connected individual body 
paragraphs. Use this three part FORMULA: (1) (state the topic or key part of the 
question) (2) BECAUSE OF (3) __________, __________, and __________. Put your 3 
main points (the 3 body paragraph topics to develop) in the blanks. 
THE BODY:
(Part Two) 
These are the paragraphs that follow the exact order of the 3 main points you stated in your thesis. 
Each individual body paragraph needs to be at least 8 sentences long and depends on how much 
info you need to make your points. The way you determine what each paragraph is going to focus 
on is by the “main points” you made in your thesis. Each of those individual points must be 
developed into “connected individual paragraphs” that have all of the following parts: 
1. TOPIC SENTENCEThis has 4 parts: it must begin with a “transition,” be a complete 
sentence that identifies the topic (one of the points from your thesis), relate to the overall 
topic of the paper, and has either the number of things or the specific ideas you will
