:Example of a main idea
"It took incredible courage for an African American woman to make such a bold stance in 1955 Alabama"
:Offer evidence to support this statement
"This act took place in an era when African Americans could be arrested and face severe retribution for comitting the most trivial acts of defiance"
Include a few more supporting statements with further evidence, then use transition words to lead to the paragraph that follows. All of your body paragraphs should follow the pattern of statement, supporting ideas, and transition statement
:Sample transition words to use in your transition statements
moreover

naturally
by comparison
surely
yet
.The fifth paragraph of your five-paragraph essay will be your conclusion
Conclusion
The final paragraph will summarize your main points and re-assert your main claim (from your thesis sentence). It should point out your main points, but should not repeat specific examples
Once you complete the first draft of your essay, it's a good idea to re-visit the thesis statement in your first paragraph. Read your essay to see if it flows well
You might find that the supporting paragraphs are strong, but they don't address the exact focus of your thesis. Simply re-write your thesis sentence to fit your body and summary more exactly
!By doing this, you will ensure that every sentence in your essay supports, proves, or reflects your thesis. Your instructor will be looking for this
