A typical expository essay consists of three main parts: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. The introduction contains the thesis statement, which is a sentence that explains the idea that the writer will support (or argue) in his essay.
Introductory Paragraph. This consists of general points or attention grabbing details leading to the main idea. For instance, there are several means that effective writers use to "hook" their readers: beginning with a question, beginning with a quotation, and beginning with a startling or paradoxical statement. The main idea is often written at the end of this paragraph in a thesis statement, which may also contain three or more reasons (written very succinctly) for supporting this main idea. Each of these reasons should be elaborated on in the body paragraphs that follow. Some essays have the very first sentence as the thesis statement.
Body Paragraph #1. This often begins wioth a transition word or words like "First" or "The first of these reasons" and gives examples and/or details relating to the first supporting reason.
Body Paragraph #2. This often begins with a transition word or words like "Next" or "Second" or "Another reason" or "The second of these reasons" and gives examples and/or details relating to the second supporting reason.
Body Paragraph #3. This often begins with a transition word or words like "Finally" or "Last" or "The final reason" and gives examples and/or details relating to the third supporting reason.
Concluding Paragraph. This paragraph may begin with "In conclusion" or "To conclude" and often restates the thesis statement in different words. Some writers like to end with a relevant quotation, or end with a question, or end with a prediction or warning. Another concluding technique is to end with some idea or detail from the beginning of the essay (thus bringing this idea full circle). Yet another means of concluding is to end with an allusion to a historical or mythological figure or event.
