The debate of Abortion in the US

Introduction:

– Is supposed to capture the readers attention

– Use a description of a dramatic event, suprising facts or examples, historical background or an entertaining story

– Starts often with general statements about the topic, but grows more specific.

– Should include a thesis statement (claim) that you wish to explore/test in the rest of your essay

Paragraphs:

– A paragraph should ideally deal with one major idea/reason in relation your thesis statement

– It should start with a topic sentence which lets the reader know what the main idea of the paragraph is, and in what context the rest of the paragraph should be read. The topic sentence should be read as a clear answer to the question in the task.

Would be appreciated if sentences were supported by:

– Facts

– Examples

– Statistics

– Quotations

Conclusion:

– Sum up your main points – maybe point out to the reader what you think were the strongest/weakest arguments

– Give the reader your final comments on the topic (projections about future changes, importance of the topic itself)

– Remind the reader of your thesis statement and conclude how you have proven/disproven that statement (NB! Rephrase your thesis statement, maybe refine it if your arguments have changed your statement).

– Do not add any new ideas
