You must refer to the chapter, with page references, in each paragraph of your essay.4) First paragraph: Create an introductory statement about the subject of your essay.

Use the essay prompt to construct your thesis statement.This website:http://johnmcgarvey.com/apworld/student/thesiscreator.htmlwill help you transform any essay prompt into a thesis statement. NOTE: I will discuss is NOT a thesis statement, because it does not make an argument. You need to share your conclusions about this topic with your reader.Feel free to write your introduction (and conclusion) last, after you have decided what your conclusions are.Use your thesis statement as a map for the rest of your essay. Keep in mind that every paragraph in your essay should have a purpose. That purpose is proving the argument you make in your thesis statement.5) Second paragraph: For BBE#1, your second paragraph should discuss immigrants roles as industrial workers. Your second paragraph should focus solely on this topic. The rule is: one topic per paragraph, and the job of your second paragraph in this essay is to educate the reader on immigrants as industrial workers. Work in at least one direct quote of 15 words or fewer from the relevant section of Chapter 19. See the model here http://www.irwinator.com/120/citations-online-fa16.htm for how to introduce a direct quote.

If you cant figure out how a paragraph supports your thesis, delete the paragraph.9) Last paragraph (conclusion): For BBE#1 and all of your essays in this class, your final paragraph should be a summary of your main points in the essay.
