6. Paragraph Break Down
When writing each paragraph you apply the same three steps: Intro, body, conclusion.
Each paragraph should:
have an introductory sentence (intro)
followed by the detailed descriptions (body) that addresses the topic of the paragraph
This section is the “meat” of your paragraph where you should give detailed information supported by quotes and citations.
and concluded by a closing statement (conclusion) that sums up the paragraph and leads the reader into the topic of the next paragraph.
