Introduction paragraphs should follow this format:
Hook. Background Information. Background Information. Background Information. Thesis (opinion statement). Thesis (3 reasons).
Example:
How do you feel when you take a quiz in school and you feel confident that you did well? Most students do well on quizzes or tests when they've had plenty of practice with the material. One form of practice that students have a lot of is homework. Most teachers assign homework throughout the week so that students can have additional practice with what they are learning in class. Homework is an essential part of the learning process for all students. All teachers should assign homework because student achievement would drop without it, students need homework to stay focused on learning when at home, and homework grades help the students monitor their own progress in their learning.
Body paragraphs (and essay question responses) should follow this format:
Topic Sentence. General Statement. Detail or Example. General Statement. Detail or Example. Concluding Statement.
Example:
First, eliminating homework would cause student achievement to drop. Teachers assign homework to students so that they can practice the concepts learned in class. Without this practice, it would be more difficult for students to remember and master the important lessons of the day. If students were not allowed to practice at home, all their practice work would have to be done in class and the amount of material covered each year would decrease. With no time left in class to learn essential skills and information, students would end the year not knowing all the things they need to know in order to succeed. Homework plays an essential role in the pacing of student learning, and doing away with it would leave students unprepared for the next stage in their education.
Here are blank copies of a graphic organizer that can help you write an essay based on the format we learned. The introduction is a document by itself, and the body paragraphs and conclusion are combined into one document:
