Opening paragraph introduces the purpose. 2 Opening paragraph introduces the purpose. Light Blue- is the hook, a startling fact that grabs the readers attention. Green- background information. Introduces readers to the material. Red- the thesis statement. Yellow- the roadmap. This sentence tells the reader what your three points will be. This introduction is very simple. Every element only has one or two sentences. However, you will find that frequently authors will spend paragraphs on any of these elements. Except the thesis, this should always be very brief.

INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH 3 INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH Learning the lessons taught by failure is a sure route to success. [Hook] The United States of America can be seen as a success that emerged from failure; by learning from the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the framers of the Constitution were able to come up with the document on which America is built. Google Inc., the popular search engine, is another example that shows how success can arise from failure. However, in this case, Google learned from the failures of its competitors. Another such example is the story of Rod Johnson’s recruiting firm that rose from the ashes of Johnson’s personal experience of being laid off. [Roadmap/history] By examining these three examples, we will discuss how failure can be an invaluable teacher, if the learner is willing (even eager) to recognize weaknesses and make necessary adjustments. [Thesis]

Dark Blue-Summarize points Red-Restate thesis statement 4 ELEMENTS OF A CONCLUSION Think of your essay as a circle. The conclusion should end by tying in with, or contextualizing, the body paragraphs and introduction. Closing remark should turn focus toward the bigger picture or reflect the introductory hook. Transition Dark Blue-Summarize points Red-Restate thesis statement Don’t use exact wording from introduction: paraphrase yourself. Brown-Closing remark DON’T introduce any new points or evidence

ELEMENTS OF A CONCLUSION 5 ELEMENTS OF A CONCLUSION Failure is often seen as embarrassing, something to be denied and hidden. But as the examples of the U.S. Constitution, Google, and Rodney Johnson prove, if a nation, organization, or an individual is strong enough to face and study its failures, then failure can be a powerful teacher. The document we revere as the Constitution was the result of the fiasco resulting from the Articles of Confederation. Google was wise enough to learn from the mistakes of others. And Rodney Johnson could have internalized his failure to find a job; but rather, he discovered that the problem was not his. These examples from history and business demonstrate that failure can be a catalyst for success, if people have the courage to face it head on.
