I have to write an 5 paragraph essay about fame gained by the internet and I chose to write it on Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook. I have my 3 body paragraph topics picked out and my thesis statement, I just have no clue how to form the intro/start the essay. Body paragraphs: 1) The developement of Facebook 2) The original intent 3) The negative effects of Facebook.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of social networking. Specifically it will discuss the impact of the social networking site Facebook on today's society. Facebook has become a phenomenon for the social networking set, and what makes that so amazing is that Facebook did not even exist until 2004. Three college students created it to allow other students to network and meet each other, and it has caught on with young people around the globe. What impact does Facebook have on today's technologically advanced society? It allows people who probably never would have met each other in person to communicate, it creates new relationships and friendships, and it places distance between people who could communicate in person but instead choose to communicate online, instead. It is just another element of society that is interested in sharing information with the intimacy of a close, personal relationship.
Facebook is nothing more than a medium for communication, and yet, it is so much more than that. At a glance, a user can learn everything from what gender a Facebook member is, to what religion they believe in, what school they attend, and their likes and dislikes, all with the click of a mouse.

Yes I agree, the idea is there, but you just need to develop it. Not to be a grammar Nazi, but the thesis should also be in present tense, not past tense. Here are some tips I found helpful throughout my college classes:
Thesis needs to say something; don't say "what" - make sure you explain "why" as well.
* Thesis to directly answer the prompt/question being asked.
* Formulaic thesis repeats the prompt/question right back into the thesis.Massage the formula to be creative and lend your own voice.
* Thesis is NEVER a question; it is a STATEMENT.
* Thesis can be more than one sentence; all depends on situation and assignment.
* Thesis is backbone of your paper, the anchor of what you're saying. Think of your body with no spine; that is an argument with no thesis.
* Without a thesis, your paper will float adrift and be lost upon the audience. Give them the pathway to chart your argument clearly!
* Thesis must come early and be direct/clear - preferably end of first section/paragraph.
