The Five Paragraph Essay Format
The first paragraph:
1. Begins with a topic sentence that introduces a general theme.
2. Follows the topic sentence with sentences that narrow the focus of the theme, so that it is less
general.
3. Introduces the author of the text you are writing about.
4. Introduces the title of that text.
5. Narrows the discussion of the topic by identifying an issue or problem.
6. Finishes by making a debatable claim – a thesis statement – which is defined as a debatable
point/claim.
Body paragraphs:
1. Begin with topic sentences that clearly relate to the topic, or issue, or problem that was
identified in the introductory paragraph.
2. Sentences that elaborate on the issue or problem discussed in the introductory paragraph,
and also demonstrate a clear connection to the thesis statement. A sentence or sentences
that make a claim about the topic, issue, problem.
3. A quote from the text you are analyzing that supports your claim.
4. Your interpretation of that quote, which explains how you arrived at your conclusion, and
demonstrates a clear connection to the thesis statement.
Body paragraphs employ the One, Two, Three Rule, which is:
1. Make a debatable claim.
2. Support the claim with a quote.
3. Explain the connection between your claim and the quote, which means you make an
intellectual conclusion.
Concluding paragraph:
1. Begins with a topic sentence that clearly relates to the topic, or issue, or problem that was
identified in the introductory paragraph.
2. Sentences that make connections with, or revisit, points from your introductory paragraph and
your body paragraphs. These points now serve to close your argument.
3. A synthesis of these points that clearly demonstrates the focus of your thesis statement.
4. A final comment or intellectual conclusion that points out the larger significance of your
argument.
Things to avoid:
Do not use contractions.
Do not engage in personal stories, meaning stories of your own life experiences, or the
experiences of friends, family, and so on.
Do not begin sentences with conjunctions: but, and, or, nor, for, so, yet.
Avoid any form of direct address to the reader, such as "think about the fact that . . ."
Avoid too casual of a prose style, such as sentences that begin with words like "well, sure,
now, yes, no."
