You have learned quite a bit about how to put an essay together, and you have a strong thesis statement put together. It is now time to turn all your background work into a finished product. This assessment has two parts: Part I: Thesis Before you begin to write your thesis statement, you should: Review your Mind Map. Number the main ideas on the Mind Map in the order you want to write about them. Part II: Draft Use the facts and strong arguments you collected in your earlier research, your Mind Map, and the feedback you received on your Mind Map to write a four-paragraph essay. Your essay should include an introductory paragraph, two framed body paragraphs that include your research as specific examples, and a concluding paragraph.
