Introduction

The first paragraph of your paper is your introduction paragraph. Per APA 6^th ed, paragraphs must be a minimum of three sentences long. In addition, think of your introduction paragraph as a funnel. The beginning of the paragraph starts out broad and then funnels down into something more specific with regards to content. The first or the last sentence in your introduction paragraph is usually your thesis sentence. This sentence describes for your audience what your paper will include. This paragraph is usually about 5-7 sentences in length.

Conclusion

The conclusion reviews and wraps up what you have discussed in your paper. This area needs to be 3-5 sentences in length. The conclusion also kind of restates your thesis for your paper. The conclusion is not a place to bring up new information that has not been previously discussed in the body of the paper. The conclusion should bring a feeling of completion to the audience. All paragraphs of your paper should also be about the same uniform length. One mistake that I frequently see in academic papers is that of nice robust paragraphs in the body of the paper and then the conclusion is much shorter. This adds to the audience feeling of the paper being unfinished. Therefore aim to look at your paragraphs and make sure that they are at least similar in length.Patients Spiritual Needs Essay
