an introduction that sets up the topic and puts forth a thesis statement. MUST have a thesis.
•body paragraphs that each develop a point that helps build the case for the thesis statement’s claim,
•and a conclusion that ties together the entire argument, giving a sense of what has been gained and providing a sense of
closure.
•a transition that connects the paragraph to what came before it (see the course materials on coherence),
•then a clear topic sentence that lets the reader know what point the paragraph will develop,
•followed by specific evidence that supports that point
•and then a closing sentence or two that explains how the point is relevant and useful for your argument.
