THE BODY Each body paragraph has a well-positioned topic sentence. The topic sentence is to the paragraph what the thesis is to the paper! You should always be able to see a clear relationship between your topic sentence and your thesis. Topic sentences should NEVER have quotations in them. Each topic sentence should have ONE point. Use quotations when necessary. Use lengthy quotations SPARINGLY. Sandwich your quotations. Introduce quotation, put quotation, and then explain. Make sure the sentence containing the quotation is GRAMMATICALLY correct. If you are taking a fragment from a sentence, add words outside of your quotation so that it is a cogent thought. Source Mt Vernon High School RESEARCH PAPER FORMAT GEN RULES THE INTRODUCTION Grabs the reader’s attention with a great opening liner States the name of the author and the title of the work States the relevance of the topic chosen (i.e. WHY DO WE CARE?) Includes pertinent background information about the artist as it relates to the thesis statement (NOT A BIOGRAPHY Positions the thesis last. DO NOT: Repeat yourself. (which usually involves chopping the various points of your thesis into long, drawn out sentences stated in a different manner sothat we are totally bored by the time we get to the thesis) State obvious generalizations (i.e. materialism is bad)

DO NOT Re-state your introduction in various words. BORING. Philosophize. It’s not a philosophy paper. It’s a literary analysis paper. Oversimplify your topic. Don’t pretend that you’ve exhausted your topic and your position is obvious. If it is, why are you writing about it? Who needs convincing of an obvious point? Source Mt Vernon High School RESEARCH PAPER FORMAT GEN RULES THE BODY DO NOT Write “this quote means,” “this quote is saying” or any variations on these. These are terrible writing habits. Quotations should not make up the majority of the paragraph. Your explanations should be longer than the quotations. THE CONCLUSION Beginning with the last point made, re-state your organizational points. State your overall assessment of the narrative: its impact, purpose, tone, and value. A personal response is at the heart of excellent writing. Do this without saying “I thought” End with a great clincher, a concise WHAMMY! of your point.
