Abstract:

Your fifth-grade teacher was right: Thesis sentences are important. The first sentence of every paragraph you write should be a strong thesis sentence. A good thesis sentence should reflect the main idea of the paragraph that will follow. Drafting effective thesis sentences can significantly improve the quality of your writing, whether you are drafting a letter, an internal memo, or a brief submitted to the court. This essay focuses on tips for writing memos and briefs, although the tips can be applied to other types of documents, too.
