Essay structure
Introduction: The introduction should state your main idea, contention or answer in an interesting way, answering the question as well as providing an indication of where the essay will develop from here. Listing the main arguments that are to follow in the order that you intend to use them. Main Body of Essay: The following structure is for the main body of the essay, not the introduction or concluding paragraph of your essay.

Topic/Main Point Explanation Evidence Link


Topic /Main Point Usually the introductory/topic sentence of the paragraph explaining to the reader what the paragraph will discuss. Avoid making it too lengthy and detailed. Explanation Discuss your ideas/reasons/argument regarding the topic sentence (whatever you had mentioned in your 'title'). Evidence Give support and proof for your ideas/reasons/argument. If this is an essay for a novel study, give quotes and refer to the novel. If it is for a history essay, again, you can use references to back up your explanation. If it's an argumentative essay, give statistics (if applicable). Link A sentence or two which refers back to your essay topic or title. A good paragraph following TEEL will have an explanation and evidence throughout the paragraph. By this I mean a paragraph will not strictly have the explanation and then the evidence in order. You can have an explanation and evidence and then another

explanation or the evidence first and then an explanation. However, a good essay will include the TEEL points. Conclusion: The conclusion should draw together your arguments in and interesting way, reiterating your arguments and referring again to the question and demonstrating just how you have answered it.
