A strong body paragraph explains, proves, and/or supports your paper’s argumentative claim or thesis statement.

1.) insert a topic sentence. when creating a topic sentence ask yourself these questions like what’s going on in your paragraph. Why you chosen to include the information you have? why is the paragraph important in the context of your argument or thesis statement? what point are you trying to make?


If you have several topic sentences that restate your thesis, just reworded, then your essay is probably repetitive and you don’t want that.


2.) explain your topic sentence. Does your topic sentence require further explanation? if so, add another 1-2 sentences explaining your topic sentence here.

3.) introduce to it evidence. most academic papers require students to integrate evidence such as quotes, statistics, common sense examples, ect. make sure the evidence is smoothly integrated into your paragraph and in the text of your paper.


4.) insert evidence. Insert/drop-in your supporting evidence

5.) unpack your evidence. explain what your quote/statisti cmeans and why it’s important to your argument. The author should agree with how you sum up the evidence, this will help establish credibility, by demonstrating that you know what the author is saying even if you don’t agree. often 1-2 sentences tops.

6.) explain evidence. no matter how good your evidence is, you still have to explain it and why it’s important. the reader needs to understand the importance of the evidence. ask yourself, how does this evidence prove the point you are trying to make in this paragraph and/or your paper as a whole? Can be opinion based and is often at least 1-3 sentences.

7.) insert a concluding sentence. End your paragraph with a concluding sentence or sentences that reasserts how your paragraph contributes to the development of your argument as a whole.

if you need more help and further detail, i can send an example body paragraph.

Which line is decasyllabic?
polet [3.4K]

The decasyllabic line is C. Miranda took a bitter pill today.

A decasyllabic line is one consisting of ten syllables, <em>deca-</em> meaning ten. The origin comes from Medieval French poetic meter of ten syllables that was used in poetic traditions of syllabic verse. In this sentence, the ten syllables are Mi-ran-da-took-a-bit-ter-pill-to-day.
