The essay most commonly assigned in college writing is the thesis-support essay, which addresses a central question or issue and offers a supporting thesis.
- Sometimes you explain or defend your thesis with reasons and evidence gained from your personal experience.
- Often, you are expected to include new thinking and evidence gained from your reading or other kinds of research.
- Generally, you will be assigned, or will need to settle on, a specific method or form, almost always including an introduction, body and conclusion.
