Document Summary
Purpose to present a clear position that is supported by evidence and is communicated using an individual voice that relates appropriately to the voices of others and engages in dialogue with other scholars. Not principles that are restricted to essays (e. g. also reports: deductive. In most essays: the introduction states the position you will argue, the body makes the argument the conclusion confirms or modifies the position. Introducing the general position first is a deductive approach: have to be clear about what each paragraph is doing, have to keep topic in mind constantly. 1st generalisation, 2nd generalisation, bridging generalisation, 3rd generalisation, prescriptive claim. Conclusion --> re-statement or modification of position (generally expect some modification of original position in academic writing --> no point having a conclusion if it simply restates what has already been said) Your reader only knows as much as you are.
