Information on what to include in your essay:
You are to write an expository (or explanatory) essay, which explains and presents facts on your topic. It requires you to investigate a topic, evaluate the evidence from the literature, develop your ideas relevant to your topic, and set forth an argument concerning your topic in a clear and concise manner. It includes the following sections (Remember not to use any headings or sub-headings in your essay):
1. Introductory paragraph (usually 10% of total length or 100-150 words)
The first paragraph of an essay introduces the reader to the essay topic. It should create interest in the essay by providing background information and a definition (if relevant); outline the writer's main ideas in the order in which they appear in the essay's body paragraphs. It should be written in the present tense. The Introduction consists of three main elements: A hook, building sentences, and a thesis statement (including the main ideas to be covered).
1. Hook
The first sentence (or sentences) of an essay should catch the reader's attention. It introduces the topic of the essay in an interesting way.
2. Building sentences
After the hook, the following sentences should provide background information to give readers some context about the topic. They should build towards the thesis statement.
3. Thesis statement
The thesis statement comes towards the end of the Introduction and must have a controlling idea, which states the focus or position on your topic. It is the most important sentence in the entire essay because it presents the purpose of the essay. The thesis statement is followed by the main ideas discussed in the body paragraphs in the same order in which they appear in the essay's body paragraphs. Sometimes the thesis statement and list of topics to be discussed are in the same sentence. A good thesis statement communicates your essay's position, the context for this position, and the scope of your essay's supporting paragraphs. It is a decisive statement upon which your entire essay is structured.
2. Body paragraphs (80% of total length or 800 words)
The body of an essay consists of several paragraphs. In this essay, you are required to write three (3) body paragraphs. Each body paragraph explains in detail one of the main ideas expressed at the end of the Introduction. There are three parts to a body paragraph: A topic sentence. supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence.
