When writing a paper it's very important to take your time and not rush your words, but a great way to get all your thoughts out on paper is by making a rough draft. This is your first draft of a paper. This should be very raw, and need a lot of rewriting. It is best to write a rough draft in one sitting. The structure of your essay is very important. They need to consist of an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
An introduction is very important because it sets the mood for the paper. It's needs to be interesting to hook the reader to your paper. There are many ways to approach your introduction. Some ways include: using a story, using background information, describing something or someone, or using an interesting quotation.
While your introduction needs to be interesting, your body paragraphs have to back it up. These paragraphs have two key parts to them. They need to have a topic sentence and supporting details. A topic sentence is usually the first sentence of the paragraph. This sentence tells the readers what you're going to be talking about. The supporting details are the rest of the sentences that explain and prove the point you're trying to get across. It's very important that all your body paragraphs jive together. Each paragraph needs to flow into the next. They need to build off of each other, and give the reader no option but to arrive at your conclusion.
Conclusions are also very important. This is the part of your essay that brings all of your points and opinions together to arrive at one ending. This is the writers last chance to win the reader over. So it is important that your conclusion is clear and concise. Conclusions can be all different lengths as long as it does a good job of closing the essay.
