Consider structuring your essay in the following way:

Introduction (Opening Paragraph)

1.       Engaging opener and lead-in sentence

2.       Introduce the author and title of book

3.       Briefly summarize the book

4.       Clear thesis statement

Body Paragraphs (at least 3):

1.       Begin with topic sentences that relate back to the thesis statement in some way

2.       Contain at least one piece of textual evidence that is smoothly integrated into the paragraph

3.       Explain the context of the textual evidence

4.       Contain at least two sentences of insightful commentary that shares a thought-provoking perspective and

supports/proves the thesis statement.  If you have personal examples that relate to the textual evidence, this

would be the place to include them.

Conclusion should:

1.       Summarize the content of the essay

2.       Restate the thesis statement in a new/different way
