Developing a working thesis



Eventually (and with practice) all writers will develop their own strategy for writing the perfect introduction to an essay or research paper. Once you are comfortable with writing, you will probably find your own, but coming up with a good strategy can be tough for beginning writers. Here are some tips for perfecting your introduction:

1

First write your thesis. Your thesis should state the main idea in specific terms.

2

After you have a working thesis, tackle the body of your paper before you write the rest of the introduction. Each paragraph in the body should explore one specific topic that proves, or summarizes your thesis. Writing is a thinking process. Once you have worked your way through that process by writing the body of the paper, you will have an intimate understanding of how you are supporting your thesis. After you have written the

body paragraphs, go back and rewrite your thesis to make it more specific and to connect it to the topics you addressed in the body paragraph.

Experiment by taking different approaches to your thesis with every revision you make. Play with the language in the introduction. Strike a new tone. Go back and compare versions. Then pick the one that works most effectively with the body of your essay.

Do not try to pack everything you want to say into your introduction. Just as your introduction should not be too short, it should also not be too long. Your introduction should be about the same length as any other paragraph in your essay. Let the content—what you have to say—dictate the length.

Revise your introduction several times, saving each revision. Be sure your introduction previews the topics you are presenting in your paper. One way of doing this is to use keywords from the topic sentences in each paragraph to introduce, or preview, the topics

in your introduction. This “preview” will give your reader a context for understanding how you will make your case.
