I. Title
A title should attract the reader’s attention and also give a hint of what
the essay’s topic is.
III. Body
The body contains two or more supporting paragraphs. Each
paragraph supports one topic of the thesis. Using the example from

Science in the second, and Math in the third. All statements and

should ALWAYS begin with a transition sentence (using transition

B. Summarize an idea from each of the body paragraphs.
C. Call to action or make a final statement.
A concluding paragraph should be four to six sentences
