My topic is one of the 4 types of stress and focuses on social stress. How does fear of disappointing family members lead to self-isolation and increased loneliness in young adults?

Eustress

Distress

Hyperstress

Hypostress

Intro:

Must contain an attention grabber for the reader or at least make the essay sound interesting; it may begin with a quote about the particular topic.

Ensure that the intro moves from the general to the specific in regards to the topic.

Provides the reader with a “road map” of the essay in a logical order.

At the end of the intro, there should be what is called a thesis statement, which is arguably the most important component of the intro.

The thesis statement states the aim of the paper and may give insight into the authors examples and evidence.

Body:

Includes the evidence and support of the paper in addition to the authors ideas.

Paragraphs must include a topic sentence that relates the discussion back to the thesis statement.

Logical ordering of ideas is required. There are three types to choose from:

Chronological order. Places things in order of time. This is good for narratives.

Spatial order. Good for descriptions of locations, such as top to bottom.

Emphatic order. This arranges ideas/points from the least important to the most important. This is most common for college writing.

Ensure that transition sentences are present to create a good flow to the essay.

Include substantial examples and evidence to support your argument, and remember to cite, cite, cite!

Make sure each example is relevant to your particular topic.

Personal Reflection:

This section should contain one to two paragraphs of your own personal reflections on the topic. This can be your personal opinion of the topic, personal experience, a reason for why you chose this topic, etc. There is no need for you to have references and citations for this portion of the paper.

Conclusion:

This section should wrap up all of your arguments and points.

Should restate the main arguments in a simplified manner.

Ensure that the reader is left with something to think about, particularly if it is an argumentative essay.
