How to Write a Whole Composition
The following is a general structure to follow for many kinds of writing.
I. Introduction
The introduction is intended to draw the reader into the body of material to
follow. It should begin with a general statement or question, sometimes
called the “thesis statement” or “thesis question,” followed by a quick
narrowing down to the main theme to be developed in the body. Set the
stage quickly, give appropriate background, then move right into a transition
sentence that will set up the reader for the body.
Let’s study this
II. Body (Argument)
The body of a written piece is where you elaborate, defend, and
expand the thesis introduced in the introduction. The body should
support your main contention with supporting evidence and
possible objections. A good body presents both sides of a case, pro
and con. As you make your case, save your best argument for last.
When presenting contrary views, be sure to set forth the strongest
arguments so you can avoid being charged with erecting a “straw
man.”
Let’s study this
The body includes three components:
Elaboration: Spell out the details by defining, or by clarifying and
adding relevant, pertinent information.
Illustration: Paint a verbal picture that helps make or clarify your
point(s). Well illustrated pieces are easier to read and follow than
abstract ones.
Argumentation: Give the reasons, justifications, and rationales
for the position or view you have taken in the introduction
Let’s study this
Logical connectors that you can use:
exceptions – but, alas, however, etc.
illustrations – for instance, for example, etc.
conclusions – thus, so, therefore, consequently, etc.
comparisons – similarly, by contrast, etc.
qualifications – yet, still, etc.
additions – moreover, furthermore, etc.
Let’s study this
III. Conclusion
Make your final appeal to the reader, a finishing, all-
encompassing statement that wraps up your presentation
in a powerful or even dramatic fashion. Normally a single
paragraph, brief and concise, will suffice. The purpose of
the conclusion is to leave the reader with an idea or
thought that captures the essence of the body while
provoking further reflection and consideration.
