What is the proper format of a five paragraph essay?

Answer 1

A professor of mine said, "Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them." In your example, the first paragraph should introduce the thesis of your report, and suggest a reason for exploring the subject -- tell them what you you're going to tell them. The next three paragraphs should support your thesis, with each paragraph containing an independent idea or argument -- tell them. Be sure to address possible dissent for your thesis. The final paragraph, or conclusion, should restate the thesis and tie the report together -- tell them what you told them.

Answer 2

If writing a composition,there must be an introduction(not too long or marks will be deducted),a climax 1 which is the body,climax 2 and a good conclusion.The composition must be 2 pages at least to get the marks.

Answer 3

First paragraph: Introductory Paragraph

Make sure to have a good introduction sentence (for every paragraph), usually introducing the main character or the character you will be talking about during your essay. your last sentence in your first paragraph should be your Thesis statement and it should contain the title of the novel, author, and three aspects of which you will be exploring in order of paragraph. For example: if you want to talk about your character as being strong, wise, and fearless strong would be your First Body paragraph, Wise would be the Second Body paragraph and Fearless would be the Third Body paragraph. (Always remember to put the weakest paragraph before the stronger ones)

Second Paragraph: Weakest body paragraph

Make sure the intro sentence relates to the first item you have listed in your thesis (in our case strength). Make key points and make in text citations with reference to the novel you are studying. Make at least three good points of reference in each paragraph and make it relate to your thesis. (when referencing to the novel do not re tell the story. Make sure to stick with the thesis). At the end of this paragraph make sure to have a transition sentence (something to link the current paragraph with the next paragraph). For example: strong-wise could be: bobby showed strength through these aspects however his wisdom was more prominent (of course make it better than that but you get the idea).

Third/Fourth Paragraph: third should be slightly stronger than second paragraph and fourth should be strongest paragraph.

This should be the same as my example for the Second Paragraph. (A transition sentence is not needed from the fourth paragraph to the conclusion but can be used to strengthen the essay.)

Conclusion Paragraph: Final paragraph

The first sentence in this paragraph should be you thesis but re-worded. Make sure to re explain whyyour character matches your thesis.

Work Cited Page

Most people forget about this page and it can cause big problems. Make sure to sight all the books, websites you use. (citations will differ depending on the format you are using: APA, MLA, Chicago)
