Actions speak louder than words

Your essay should have five paragraphs—an introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. In addition, you should include a sentence (or two) in your introduction that states the main idea of your paper (also known as a thesis statement). In your body paragraphs, be sure to give examples from your own experience/observations to support your main idea. The key is to SHOW your reader, rather than just tell your reader about your experience.  Finally, proofread your paper carefully to eliminate spelling and grammar errors.
