Provided support for your thesis – this can be in examples, quotes, statistics, etc. Connect back, through elaboration, to the thesis statement and the introductory paragraph.

Organization and flow… Each body paragraph and its topic sentence refer directly back to the thesis statement. Essay Introduction & Thesis Statement Body Paragraph 3 _____________ Body Paragraph 4 _____________ Body Paragraph 1 _____________ Body Paragraph 2 _____________

Body Paragraphs: Connection and Conciseness Within each of your body paragraphs, examples, evidence, etc. support the topic sentence and thus refers back to or connects to your essay thesis. NOTE: Each sentence in a body paragraph should support the topic of the paragraph and thus the thesis. Body Paragraph Topic Sentence Elaborate on and explain support. Quote Story Statistic other

Body Paragraphs: FORM Most paragraphs contain between five to ten sentences. The first line of a paragraph is usually indented (begin a few spaces to the right of the margin) to show that there is a new paragraph. Begin with a single tab or five spaces (indent), before you begin the paragraph.

Key Features of the body paragraph Topic sentence Supporting sentences Elaborating or Explanatory sentences Concluding or transition sentence

Topic Sentences This sentence contain the controlling and connecting elements of the body paragraph. It tells the reader what the paragraph will be about and connects back to the thesis statement from the introductory paragraph.

Example Body Paragraph Fear is overcome by strength and courage, fear only affects us when we are afraid to face our fears (Topic Sentence). There have been many books and television shows that discuss overcoming fears, and what can be learned from these outlets is that fear is only a fear when you fear, fear itself. Maya Angelou addressed how we should use our strength and courage to overcome our fears in her poem, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” stating that if we all go boo to our fears, we can make them shoo and run. The speaker further indicated that by facing your fears they, you become a stronger and more courageous and life will won’t be scary after all. We should not fear our fears, but as the poem indicated, we should embrace them and face them to build upon our own strengths. Life should not frighten us; we should live our lives and embrace those things that cause us fright. Fear is an opportunity to grow when we take advantage of the obstacles that are set before us (Concluding Sentence).

Supporting Sentences These sentence are used by the author to provide support to the paragraph and the essay thesis. They can be quotes from researched sources, personal anecdotes, statistics, stories or examples. NOTE: These must be in complete sentences or woven into complete sentences.

Explanatory or Elaborating Sentences Every paragraph has sentences that relate to the ideas in the topic sentence. These sentences are called supporting sentences. These are the sentences in which the author explains or elaborates on the connections between the supporting sentences and the overall topic.

Concluding sentence It is sometimes helpful to have a concluding expression in your last sentence to signal the end of your paragraph. Some common expressions used in concluding sentences are listed below. It is apparent … This is just one … Consequently, This demonstrates that …
