Essays have to be five paragraphs long. ERRRRRRR. Wrong. Essays should have a thesis statement that starts the introductory paragraph. ERRRRRRRRRRRR. Wronger. Essays should in fact have a topic. Why yes, they should indeed. College essays need to fit three basic requirements. One, to have a strong thesis, two have an introduction paragraph as well an a conclusion paragraph, and three have supporting paragraphs in between that flesh out the thesis more and gives the reader reasons as to why he or she should believe you. These core principles behind papers create a solid structure that isn't a tied rubric that you have to follow each and every placeholder for your sentences, i.e. fill in the blank as the rubric goes, but rather developed essays that reflect your own thought but are still professional and make sense. These are good college papers, and these are what teachers are looking for. This style is also very good for persuasive writing as a whole. Thesis driven articles can be solid pieces of information online, in the paper, and in books. Just make sure you can call their bluffs.
