600 word essay
Begin with an introductory paragraph to briefly summarize your topic. In one or a few sentences, express a thesis, or point of view. Your thesis will be a personal response to the question you are answering. (Do not say "I think" in your thesis; state it as a fact.)
Body paragraphs will make up the bulk of your essay. Use the body paragraphs to support and defend the thesis. Remember that each body paragraph should include a topic sentence. Other sentences in the paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.
The essay should have a concluding paragraph. Summarize what is said in the essay and boldly recap your ideas. Do NOT simply restate your thesis.
Present a clear thesis statement about the reform you are discussing.
Summarize two main developments in the reform effort.
Discuss at least two people who were important in the reform effort, noting their contributions.
Explain why the reform effort matched the ideals of John Locke and the Declaration of Independence.
Use essay format effectively-each body paragraph should have a topic sentence; each topic sentence should support your thesis.
