INTRODUCTIONS & CONCLUSIONS

INTRODUCTION The introduction has 3 distinct parts. Motivator = green It is green because it is the calm cool collected beginning to your essay. Remember that it is the first sentence of the prompt and you can use it in your essay. Thesis = red It is red because it is the “hot” part of the introduction. It tells the reader what the essay is about. Remember to include the author and title of the work. Blueprint = blue It is the deep blue ocean between the continents of the introduction and conclusion. It clearly states what is discussed in each body paragraph.
