<p>So.. A teacher told me to write the introduction paragraph of a SAT essay like a "funnel". Starting with a broad statement, then developing it into a thesis statement. However, I read online on lots of websites that the SAT essay isn't graded like a usual essay, and that I should start with a strong thesis. I need a lot of help with my essay so I'm practicing a lot right now for the October SAT, and I think I should just stick to one method.
Can anyone tell me which way would score higher?</p>
<p>If there are other suggestions or advice, they'd be more than welcome.</p>
