Lesson: Writing Body Paragraphs for Research Papers
Handout: Practicing Claims & Integrating Quotations
Remember, all body paragraphs must begin with claims (opinion statements or reasons). Then transition to evidence, by introducing all quotations and paraphrase with meaningful half-sentences and argument verbs. After the quoted material, cite your source, then spend a few sentences explaining and interpreting what your source means, and how it connects to your overall argument.
