Thesis and introductory:

Answer these questions:

Part 1: The Thesis

What is the general topic you are writing about? Write it in the space. If you are revising your essay, find the topic in your thesis sentence.

Can you narrow the topic to a more specific aspect of the subject?

What is the controversial assertion or position about the subject you’ve chosen that you intended to defend or refuse? If you are revising your essay \, what controversial assertion did you make?

Create a Coherent, grammatically correct sentence using both #2 and #3 above.

Have you used first person (i/we) words? Yes, reword.

Check your sentence for terms that are vague and to general. First circle generic words. Substitute these words for more specific words.

Write your final Thesis Statement.

Part 2: The Context:

Now you have thesis set, you need to set it in the introductory paragraph.

What is the “big picture”? What is the inherent interest or importance of the topic? How does the subject relate to the larger world? Or Subject under discussion. (2 to 3 sentences) This is the first part of your introductory paragraph.

Part 3 The Bridge:

Now connect the bridge the big picture and your thesis

What is the subject?

What is the thesis?

How is the thesis part of the larger topic?

Part 4 Putting it all together and making it make sense

Now you have the three parts that you need for a complete introductory paragraph that does what it is supposed to do: introduce your topic; state opinion and why and how you think the way you do. In parts 1-3 of the exercise you worked on the parts of an introductory paragraph out of order.

Now you must rearrange them so that context statement is first, the brige in next and the thesis is last like this
