The format of the assignment will be
Writing an introduction:
Introductions need to provide general information about the topic. Typically they include:
Background, context or a general orientation to the topic so that the reader has a general understanding of the area you are discussing.
An outline of issues that will and will not be discussed in the essay (this does not have to be a detailed list of the ideas that you will discuss). An outline should be a general overview of the areas that you will explore.
A thesis or main idea which is your response to the question.
It is often a good idea to use some of the words from the question in the introduction to indicate that you are on track with the topic. Do not simply recount the question word for word.

II. Writing the body:
Each paragraph should make a point that should be linked to your outline and thesis statement.
The most important consideration in the body paragraphs is the argument that you want to develop in response to the topic. This argument is developed by making and linking points in and between paragraphs.
Try structuring paragraphs like this:
Topic sentence: open the paragraph by making a point
Supporting sentences: support the point with references and research
Conclusive sentence: close the paragraph by linking back to the point you made to open the paragraph and linking this to your thesis statement.
As you write the body, make sure that you have strong links between the main ideas in each of the paragraphs.
III. Writing the conclusion: This is usually structured as follows:
Describe in general terms the most important points made or the most important linkage of ideas
Do not include new information, therefore it does not usually contain references
End with a comment, a resolution, or a suggestion for issues that may be addressed in future research on the topic.
