Double space throughout the document and place two spaces after sentences in the body of the paper. The last sentence of the introduction will be your thesis statement. This is your opinion or position on the topic of your essay (THESIS).

First Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)

DO NOT USE the exact words “First Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the first section serves as the Level I heading. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your first key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay (@ 1.5 – 2 pages for a 5 – 8-page essay). End by using a transition sentence to introduce your second main point.

Second Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)

DO NOT USE the exact words “Second Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the second section serves as the Level I heading. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your second key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay. End by using a transition sentence to introduce your third main point.

Third Main Point (USE THE TITLE OF YOUR POINT)

DO NOT USE the exact words “Third Main Point” as Level I heading. Your main point or idea for the third section serves as the Level I head. Use discussion and substantive evidence from the research for your third key point that supports your thesis. This section should contain multiple paragraphs and will likely be approximately 30% of the assigned length of the essay. End by transitioning to your conclusion.

Conclusion

Restate the thesis statement (copy and paste) to remind readers of the controlling idea / position of your essay. Summarize each of your main points and illustrate the connection between your supporting evidence and your opinion (rationale, typically, five to seven complete sentences). Should End with a broad closing statement (big picture). I do not mind if the conclusion is 500 words.
