Features of a Great Essay

A well-written essay should have the introduction paragraph, body, and the conclusion section. 

The introduction section should contain the background information and thesis statement. A thesis statement is intended to express the main idea of an essay. 

Each paragraph should have the topic sentence and conclusion sentence. 

The body section is intended to provide the basic structure of an essay and evidence to support the main ideas. 

The conclusion section summarizes the essay, rephrases the thesis statement, and provides broader implications.
