Name(s)_______ Block_______ Date_______ Unit 1 Essay: DRAFT This is the first sentence of your essay. It should hook the reader’s attention, and it should not be your thesis statement. The next sentences need to explain your hook and set the context for your answer to the prompt. The last sentence of the introduction is your answer to the essay prompt. It should only be one sentence. The first sentence of your body paragraph should be a topic sentence directly stating the point of this paragraph. The next sentence should be an example from the text illustrating this point. This example should be followed by a “direct quote” (Genesis 6:14) from the text further illustrating your point. All direct quotes should be followed by a citation of the author’s last name and page or line number where the quote can be found. Follow the quote with your own words explaining what the quote means and how it is an example of your point. Include as many quotes, examples, and explanations as needed to completely explain your point. Be EXAUSTIVE. Leave nothing out. As this essay has shown, this sentence should be a restatement of your thesis. Do not begin with “in conclusion” and do not restate your thesis word for word from the intro. Remind the audience about the larger context for your response. Close with a strong final thought that reminds the audience about your opening hook.
