Essay structure
An essay consists of three basic parts:
Introduction
Body
Conclusion
Introduction
Content in assignment introductions can vary widely. In some disciplines, you may need to provide a full background and context, whereas other essays may need only a little context, and others may need none.
An introduction to an essay usually has three primary purposes:
To set the scene
Also, To tell readers what is important, and why
To tell the reader what the essay is going to do (signposting)
A standard introduction includes the following five elements:
A statement that sets out the topic and engages the reader.
The background and context of the topic.
Also, Any important definitions, integrated into your text as appropriate.
An outline of the key points, topic, issues, evidence, ideas, arguments, models, theories, or other information, as appropriate. This may include distinctions or contrasts between different ideas or evidence.
A final sentence or two which tells the reader your focal points and aims.
You should aim to restrict your introduction to information needed for the topic and only include backgrounds and contextual information which helps the reader understand it, or sets the scene for your chosen focal points. In most essays you will have a considerable range of options for your focus. You will be expecte-d to demonstrate your ability to select the most relevant content to address your focal points.
Main body: paragraphs
The body of the essay should be organize-d into paragraphs. Each paragraph should deal with a different aspect of the issue, but they should also link in some way to those that precede and follow it. This is not an easy thing to get right, even for experienced writers, partly because there are many ways to successfully structure and use paragraphs. There is no perfect paragraph template.
Also, The theme or topic statement
The first sentence, or sometimes two, tells the reader what the paragraph is going to cover. It may either:
Begin a new point or topic, or
Follow on from the previous paragraph, but with a different focus or go into more-specific detail. If this is the case, it should clearly link to the previous paragraph.
The last sentence
It should be clear if the point has come to an end, or if it continues in the next paragraph.
Conclusion
There is never any new information in a conclusion.
Also, The conclusion usually does three things:
Reminds your readers of what the essay was mean-t to do.
Provides an answer, where possible, to the title.
Also, Reminds your reader how you reached that answer.
The conclusion should usually occupy just one paragraph. It draws together all the key elements of your essay, so you do not need to repeat the fine detail unless you are highlighting something.
