Complete the introductory paragraph component of the outline using the thesis you created this week. You may also complete any of the steps earlier than required if you would like more feedback.
Add an MLA heading above these directions. Complete every component of the outline in COMPLETE SENTENCES. Please bold your answers or write them in blue. That helps an old lady out when I read them. Thanks.
Intro-
1- Do not ask questions for hooks. The only time you can ask a question is if you are the only person in the world who has ever asked and the only one with the answer (This will never happen so don’t do it!). Instead, give a general overview of your topic.
2- Give a more specific brief summary (2-3 sentences) of your topic. Do not summarize in general terms. This should be specific to the prompt.
3- Thesis- a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved. Your thesis should be arguable and should provide the three main points of your essay:
Follow these directions for all three of your body paragraphs.
Body 1
1-Topic Sentence- This sentence should explain what your entire paper is about and explicitly connect to your first point in your thesis.
2- Set up the scene: You will need to introduce the scene you are talking about in a brief 2-3 sentences.
3- Signal of quote and quote. DO NOT JUST ADD IN A QUOTE! Quotes should be formatted like this- According to Dr.Zamora, “85% of urban high school students do not properly cite quotes” (85).
4- Analysis of quote. Your analysis should not be a summary. Rather, it should provide an in depth dissection of the quote and how it proves the overall point of your paragraph and the thesis. Your analysis should be (at minimum) twice the length of the quote. The longer the quote, the longer the analysis. SO STAY CLEAR OF USING VERY LONG QUOTES. DO NOT BEGIN WITH “THIS QUOTE MEANS” OR “THIS QUOTE SHOWS” OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!:
5- Conclusion Sentence- Tell me how this paragraph explains your thesis:
Body 2
