Underline the claim or topic of your paragraph where you state the main idea or argument of the paragraph. Ideally, this should be your first sentence in the paragraph. Make sure your claim fits your thesis.Place brackets around your evidence. This should be specific and direct quotations from the text or documents. Make sure your evidence is relevant to your claim. Underline your argument or explanation of your evidence. You should have an explanation after each piece of evidence used. Make sure your explanation relates directly to your evidence and claim. If it does not, you have lost the focus of your paragraph. If you find anything in your paragraph that DOES NOT fit in any of these four prior categories, it most likely does NOT need to be in your essay at all. If you will now highlight any of the following: First or second person pronouns. (I, we, me, you, etc.) Informal or casual language. (i.e. language that you would use in conversation) Major spelling and grammatical errors. ................
