5. Explain.

listing for higher level writing unless establishing a debate premise.)

Further Help (if the first three questions didnt help)
1. What do Main Point A and Main Point B have in common? How are they similar?

2. What do Main Point B and Main Point C have in common? How are they similar?

3. What do Main Point C and Main Point A have in common? How are they similar?

Check
1. Does Main Point C transition smoothly to my thesis?

2. How are all Main Points mentioned in the thesis?

3. Are Main Points A, B, and C mentioned in the same order as they are in the body paragraph?

To complete the introduction paragraph, explain the thesis meaning.

Conclusion Help

1. Restate thesis. *Hint: Sometimes reversing the subject and predicate (or verb) part of the sentence will work for
thesis restatement.

2. Summarize by rewording one main influential supporting detail for Main Points A, B, and C to prove the thesis
statement.
