You will need to write a thesis statement in your introduction, the main idea of a paper. Click here to visit a website about thesis statements.

Once you’ve developed the thesis, you can then begin composing your introduction. Click here for information on writing introductions.

Part One: Title of Study Article

This will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even though it has a new heading, you want to make sure you link this to your previous section so your reader can follow and understand. Remember to make sure your first sentence in each paragraph both transitions from your previous paragraph and summarizes the main point in your paragraph. Stick to one topic per paragraph, and avoid long paragraphs so you can hold the reader’s attention. A paragraph should be a minimum of three sentences.
