Hi class,
Today, we talked about body paragraphs, and how we make body paragraphs effective. As I said in class, body paragraphs support your main idea, which is expressed in a thesis statement. Also, each body paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence. However, a concluding sentence may be optional depending of the flow of sentences.
Body paragraphs are also required to have features like unity and coherence. I mentioned several techniques in class, if you want to take a look at them again, click on here.
Next class, we're going to work on body paragraphs using diagnostic papers, so be sure to bring your paper with you. Again, don't discard it!
See you on Friday.

Hi Joy,
ReplyDeleteMy essay has only two body paragraphs. Do I have to make it three, or it's okay the way it is now?
Hi Chris, good to hear you've already finished two body paragraphs, but I encourage you to have three bodies for the paper. Come up with just one more body paragraph! :D
