I feel that a good WSPT essay should be set up with an introduction, two to four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your thesis should be in your introduction paragraph, this states the main ideas in your essay. It should only introduce them, not explain, that’s what the body paragraphs are for. The next few paragraphs should be based on the topics you put in your introduction paragraph and thesis statement. . These paragraphs should be as detailed as possible, but without going over the word limit, and still getting your point across. The body paragraphs are where the reader gets your tone from, so be sure to put your opinion no matter how graphic. This is also where a lot of grammatical errors happen, keep an eye out for slang words, they are easy to miss. And the last paragraph should be a conclusion, this is where you wrap up all of your ideas and restate your thesis. When you restate the thesis it shouldn’t be copied word for word but restate it with different words.
