A-Level English Literature essay structure?

Hi. The best way of structuring an essay is the TIPE method.
Thesis
Introduction
Points (3 or 4 key paragraphs)
Conclusion

For each paragraph the PETAL method is the best for good structure as it involves all the key elements you need to get top marks. (Point, Evidence, Technique, Analysis and Link)
You should also include relevant quotes, context, connections across literary texts, different view points/ interpretations

Thanks for your reply and bringing PETAL to my attention.

I thought the thesis and introduction is the same thing?
