The first step in this writing assignment is to form a "thesis statement" which is included in your introductory paragraph. A thesis statement organizes your paper by making an assertion that you intend to support with evidence of one kind or another throughout the rest of your paper. The statement supplies structure for the paper that will follow. From reading this one sentence, your reader will know to expect an explanation as well as a discussion of the position you are taking on a particular issue. The body of your paper should be made up of evidence you supply to support your thesis statement. At the end of your paper, you should also pull things together in a concluding paragraph. Your conclusion should summarize the material you have presented and tell your reader what inferences you make from it. It is also a good idea to present counterarguments to your thesis, and then explain why these arguments should not be accepted as evidence strong enough to reject your thesis.
