Description and Instructions
Introduction: Your essay should begin with an introduction that leads into your Research Question (RQ) and working thesis. The introduction should begin by introducing your topic to the reader and providing a preview of what’s to come (essential background). A good way to set up the RQ in a “natural” way is to quote two sources that disagree on the topic. Then you can write, “This debate leads to the question, [add your RQ here].” The last two sentences of the introduction should be 1. your RQ and 2. thesis (which answers your RQ).

Body Paragraphs: Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that clearly states the main idea and topic of the paragraph in your own words. As a whole, body paragraphs should be organized according to a clear structuring principle that arranges ideas clearly and logically, often from basic to complex ideas. A good structure for this paper might be: I. Introduction, II. Define key term, III. Clarifying example of key term, IV. Other essential information (e.g. history), V. More essential information, VI. More essential information, VII. Repeat as necessary.
