Paragraph 1 (Introduction)
Sentence one: A “hook.” This is an interesting sentence that describes the topic of the essay without stating your main point. Example: “Children have an incredible number of interests, so there are many possible gifts to give them.”
Sentence two: Your main point. Example: “In my opinion, the very best gift to give to a child is…”
Sentence three: A transitional sentence. Example: “I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.”
Sentence Four: “First…..” (quickly summarize your first reason, optional)
Sentence Five: “Second….” (quickly summarize your second reason, optional)
Omit sentence four and five if you are running out of time. It is perfectly okay to write just a three-sentence introduction!
