Introduction:
Give some basic or short background about the issue and/or the author. Give a basic introduction of the
article. Be sure to include the title and author in the introduction. End your introduction with a thesis
statement that evaluates the effectiveness of the claim in the opinion article. See the templates below for
some examples.
Body:
Summary1 paragraph
Use the summary guidelines above to summarize the article. This is more comprehensive than the
explanation we went over from the book about using summary as part of citation. The purpose here is
different, so this summary will be longer because the context and purpose are different. This part is
objective and should rely on the facts. Everyone should be able to agree on the summary. Be sure to use
your own words and descriptions of the ideas in the article. Be sure to give credit as necessary to the
source. Be sure to use a topic sentence and specific development for a solid paragraph. See the template
below for examples of this kind of phrasing.
Analysis2 Paragraphs
Look at your thesis statement. What makes you say the claim is effective or ineffective? Look for two
major areas or ideas here. Write a strong topic sentence about each. Include details from the article as
support. Be sure to include thorough explanation. Focus on the article and whether the article proves its
claim here. Keep your opinions on the issue itself out of this section of the paper. Focus on the article, its
claim, and the evidence you see in the article here. See the templates below for examples of this kind of
phrasing.
Response2 Paragraphs
This is your chance to voice your opinion. What do you think of the issue? Do you agree with the author?
Why or why not? Can you relate? Do you think the issue is important? Group your ideas and response
under topic sentences. Give sufficient details and explanation here.
Conclusion
Review what you have covered. Leave the reader something to remember. State why the issue is
significant and worth talking about.
