ok my topic is on how and why does culture change? Be sure to give real-life examples of each type of change. i have to write a 5 paragraph essay

thesis is usually the last sentence in the first paragraph (your introductory)
it means that you need to sum up your intro and introduces your thesis as your connection of the rest of your essay to the first paragraph...it's like showing how you attempt to talk about the rest of your essay
good luck

An essay is a short work of writing that treats a topic from an author's personal point of view. Essays are non-fictional but often subjective; while expository, they can also include narrative. Essays can be learned arguments, literary criticism, political manifestos, observations of daily life, recollections and reflections of the author.
The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article and a short story. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While today an essay is partly defined by its brevity, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population refer to themselves using the term.

You should have the main idea sentence, the topics to be discussed, then the thesis.

Give my an idea of your topic. I used to teach English to middle school kiddos. I can probably suggest a few things.
