Body Paragraphs:



Magical TADA Body Paragraphs

1. Topic sentence should:

A. Provide a smooth transition from the previous paragraph

B. Remind the reader of the opinion expressed in the thesis; this sounds like “thesis because reason”

2. Argument/Reason/Prong: specific, solitary reason that will be argued in the paragraph is defined

3. Details/Evidence/Examples/Specifics: Specific examples (perhaps from the text being analyzed) are given. Ways to shows specific details might include: names, numbers (statistics), facts, or words from the text.

4. Analysis/Explanation/Commentary/ “Bread”: Clear explanation of HOW the examples prove the topic sentence true; this is also an explanation of how the reason in the paragraph proves the thesis true.

After each paragraph, you should read it and say, “TADA!”
