Introduction:
· Introduce your issue/theme. What is it? Why should the reader be interested?
· Does your issue have a historical context? If so, explain
· Narrow your focus to the one specific part of the issue/theme you are going to take a position on (for instance, your theme is “love” and you discuss it, give its historical/social context). So, for love, you may decide to look at the love between friends, of the love of parent to child. So this part of your essay will introduce the specific “thing/concept” you are going to take a position on.
· Finally, you end the introduction section with a clear thesis that states the position you are going to argue for.
Body
· Make a point (an idea, an assertion) about the issue that supports the thesis. All points in the body of the paper must support the thesis (or support a major idea that supports the thesis).
· Either—explain your point (why do you think this? How did you arrive at this idea?) OR—use a source quote that illustrates a similar idea or a connected idea that helped you develop your point. Remember TAGs are necessary anytime you refer to a source!
· Explain HOW your source quote (if used) connects to YOUR main point. YOU have to connect the dots in reasoning. Do NOT assume your reader understands what you mean. Examples can be used here to help illustrate your meaning and the quote’s connection to what you mean.
· Introduce another source idea—how does this source connect to-disagree with the first source? Your sources should be in “conversation” with each other and you.
· Transition here to the next point you wish to make, OR transition to a “sub” point that is still connected to the main point (for instance, my main point (assertion) is that Poverty is a major reason for crime. I quote two sources who agree, I explain them, then I begin a new paragraph that suggests communities should all offer local food banks or food pantries so people will not feel such desperation that they commit crimes. This point—the food banks/pantries—is a “sub” point connected directly to point number 1 (poverty is a major reason for crime).
· Repeat these steps throughout the body of the synthesis. Move from LEAST convincing points to MOST convincing points. BUILD your argument point by point until the conclusion. REASON your points. Just because YOU say it, does not make it logical. You must give reasons WHY you say this, WHY you suggest this idea.
Conclusion
· Sum up the ideas you have presented
· A conclusion must restate the thesis
· End by suggesting or questioning other ways the issue may be researched, or by a “call to action” if you think the issue can be changed by reader participation, or you can end with a profound thought or a question that leaves the reader pondering the ideas you have presented.
