B. Simple concept paper

• Simple concept paper (Valdez, 2016)

  A basic goal is to define, illustrate, or explain a concept that could be

  new, unfamiliar, or controversial.
• 1. Introduction - This section serves as a hook to the readers. A glimpse of the paper's thesis statement, arguments and/or claims, and purpose should be seen at this part. Also, the

  following questions should be addressed in the introduction:

  o What is the issue or problem that needs to be solved?

  o What is the concept being defined or described? Who is/are the author/s that claim this definition?
• Body - In this part, the writer should elaborate on the main points of an idea or a concept.

  Related literature could be presented and analyzed to support the idea being defined. Any

  conflicting ideas or definitions should also be clarified, and examples should be given to

  help the readers grasp the concept being discussed.

  The following questions could help in building the body of the paper:

  o What are other things used to describe the concept?

  o Are there images or familiar experiences that may help in the definition?
• 3. Conclusion - This part reemphasizes the thesis statement, provides a summary of the body,

  and relates the concept's importance to a specific field.
