Context essay structure??

Hey there :)
How do you work with two internal references as well as external references in the context essay?

Can someone outline a structure that effectively uses two internals because I'm not sure how to do this..?

Btw - do we mention our texts in the introduction?
Thankyouu. :)

You don't mention the texts in the introduction. You simply introduce your contention/main area of exploration and outline your key arguments, or you may choose to start creatively by using an anecdote or a famous quote.

The best way to structure your body paragraph is this:
Topic sentence
Explanation of your key idea(s) for this paragraph
Support it with examples from your main text
Short link back to key idea
Support it with examples from an external text
Linking sentence

This is how I do it.

Personally, my structure is.

Intro: explain my thoughts on prompt

Para 1: My text (but I refer to the historical event that the text stems from instead) - E.g Salem trials

Para 2: Event similar to text E.g - McCarthy Era

Para 3: Event that is different from the text (to explore the other side of prompt) E.g - A wa
