Structure is the most important part of your essay. Your essay must be written in a standard format with the standard logical transitions.
- Introduction and conclusion – These sections function as
bookends to your essay, providing the most basic and crucial points
of your essay. The rest of your essay will relate back to your intro.
Your conclusion will reiterate these ideas.
- Number of Paragraphs - Your essay should be four to five paragraphs, two of which
will be your introduction and conclusion. In addition your essay
will include two to three "body" paragraphs. Each paragraph
should have two to five sentences (total essay about 300-400 words).
Note: You should skip a line between paragraphs since
the TAB key does not function in the essay section.
Essay Template
The template is just a guideline. You do not have to adhere to it. Often you will have to make changes to suit your argument.
- The numbers of sentences indicated for each paragraph is a guideline that varies depending on how much content you have.
- The transitional phrases we use in the Template are intentionally simplistic. This is not a simple approach where you can "fill-in-the-blanks." Flesh out the template somewhat and use it as a guideline to write a disciplined and focused essay.
