Essay Structure Include a thesis statement in your introductory paragraph. Your thesis statement will be an answer, or direct response, to the question you are being asked. You should establish your thesis in your introductory paragraph and devote the rest of the paper to defending your thesis. Subsequent paragraphs will be body paragraphs that support your thesis. Each body paragraph will express a main point or idea that supports your thesis. It is in your body paragraphs that you will provide examples, details, and evidence to support the thesis. You should begin each body paragraph with a clear topic sentence that expresses the main point of the paragraph. Later sentences in the body paragraph should support the topic sentence and be directly related to it. Be sure to place any direct quotations in quotation marks. The last paragraph of your essay should be a conclusion that ties all of your ideas together. Explain how your main points support your thesis and reiterate why you believe your thesis to be correct.
