Okay, so the introduction part is pretty easy: it appears at the beginning of an essay, and includes a thesis, a hook, and the three (or more) main points of your essay. (Some teachers prefer the three main topics to be part of the thesis, so check). Body paragraphs appear in the middle of the essay. These three (or more) paragraphs each cover an important topic of the essay and include quotes and citations to back up your claims. The conclusion is at the end of the essay, and its purpose is to conclude and wrap up what you've said in your essay by generalizing the main ideas. Transition words are the words that connect different sentences and ideas and make the essay flow better - the sentences are less halting. Revising is just going back and rechecking your work. For me, that means looking back for sentences that don't flow, run-ons, lack or overuse of certain words and punctuation, misspellings, etcetera. As for what is on top, (claim, definition, counterclaim, definition) (sorry I did this a bit backwards) I can answer rebuttal and works cited. The rebuttal is kind of what someone else could say against what you say. (I think this, <em>but</em> so on and so forth). The works cited is a page at the end of the whole essay that gives credit to the sources you used for direct quotes, or even just research.
