WAYS TO WRITE A WINNING ESSAY HEADER
CHOOSING YOUR TOPIC
• You should insert your name 
and the title of your paper on 
every page! Quality over 
quantity when it comes to 
these two steps; taking the 
time to proofread can make all 
the difference in establishing 
credibility with an instructor or 
professor. Always double-check 
spelling errors before 
submitting! In addition, always 
double-check spelling errors 
before submitting!
CREATING CATCHY SUBHEADS
• make it brief and memorable
• use quotes or figures to be 
catchy and attention-
grabbing.
• use a hook, which is the first 
topic sentence of each 
paragraph in your essay, for 
max impact.
• use a transition sentence
• make sure that the hook is 
catchy and attention-
grabbing.
PULLING TOGETHER YOUR INTRODUCTION 
PARAGRAPH
• Start by presenting a 
compelling and intriguing 
thesis statement or 
question, something that 
will compel the reader to 
want to keep reading. It's 
essential not just for 
drawing them into your 
essay but also setting up 
your points later on 
PURPOSE OF ESSAY HEADER: 
• To get your reader hooked 
on your topic from the very 
start. Hooks can be quotes, 
figures, or questions (i.e., 
"Soylent Green was made 
out of people?"). Your hook 
should also stand apart in 
some way from other hooks 
you have seen before so 
readers will remember it 
when they later read more 
about this subject.
