An opening statement that frames the general issue for your readers, and which states the larger problem, by providing explanatory details which are important to readers who are largely unaware of its existence or significance. A following sentence or two that focuses on the specific aspect of the issue that you wish to address. Tell why you believe that knowing more about this part of the larger issue is worthy of your and your readers’ time. An additional, narrowing sentence or two that focuses your readers attention on the position that you take on this specific part of the larger issue. In other words, what is your opinion on this particular aspect of the issue you have chosen? (This will be your thesis, your central argument, and the greater bulk of your essay should be primarily concerned with proving its validity.) A brief, supporting statement that tells why you have chosen to support or oppose it. (Here, you can forecast the reasoning for the remainder of the essay and provide your readers with an idea what kinds of supporting evidence they can expect in the paragraphs that will follow.) A closing sentence that restates the importance of your position and its relevance to all those involved.
