The Body paragraphs are the section of the paper that comes after the Literature
The Body paragraphs are the section of the paper that comes after the Literature Review. Whereas the Literature Review focused on showcasing the information from your source materials, the Body paragraphs represent the argumentative part of the paper where you will support the thesis statement. Before you begin the Body paragraphs, it is important that you make the suggested revisions to the Introduction and Literature Review from the feedback you received. Be sure to include the introduction and literature review you have already created and revised in this submission. After the Body paragraphs, you will write the paper’s conclusion paragraph and include a References page.
Body of Research Paper:
In this assignment, you will write 3 to 4 body paragraphs according to the form that is explained in Unit VI, Lesson 3: “The Body Paragraphs.” The Body paragraphs should support the argument made in the thesis statement; essentially, this section should give your reader the information, support, and explanation to believe your paper’s claim. The following requirements must be included in the assignment:
Body Paragraphs (roughly 500 words):
You will construct 3 to 4 paragraphs comprised of 5 to 7 sentences each. The following components must be included in each body paragraph (in the following order):
Point/reason sentence: This topic sentence will contain one of your reasons.
Explanation: In this sentence, you provide information that further develops or explains Sentence 1.
Illustration: This sentence introduces evidence that supports the reason that is presented in Sentence 1.
Explanation of the illustration: Because the evidence does not necessarily stand on its own, you need to provide an explanation so that the reader will understand how you interpreted the evidence to come to your reason.
Second illustration and explanation (optional): You may choose to include a second piece of evidence that is then followed by an explanation.
Transition: In this sentence, you will signal to the reader that you will be moving on to another point in the next paragraph. You do this to ease the movement from one point to another.
Use APA Style to cite and reference all sources used to support your argument.
Conclusion:
The Conclusion paragraph is your final opportunity to connect with the reader and emphasize the importance of the issue and argument. The conclusion should be roughly 6 to 8 sentences and should follow the structure below:
Revisit the controversy.
Emphasize the seriousness of the controversy.
Answer the “So what?” question.
Suggest a general solution (optional).
Call for awareness/action.
Leave the reader with a final thought.
Finally, include a references page at the end of your document that cites all sources used within the paper.
