Material Detail

This instructional resource helps first-year college writers understand the purpose and structure of essay introductions and conclusions. It explains how introductions lead readers into an essay by providing context and focus, while conclusions bring the discussion to a meaningful close by reinforcing significance.

The material includes visual models of essay structure, side-by-side comparisons of introductions and conclusions, and student examples illustrating weak and strong writing. It is designed for English Composition and writing-across-the-curriculum courses and can be used as an in-class lesson, online resource, or revision aid for student writers.
