REVISION OF THE BODY
Description: In this assignment, you will revise the three to four body paragraphs you wrote previously. The following requirements must be included in the assignment:
• Body Paragraphs: You will revise the body section of your paper based on feedback received from the professor. Please review here the guidelines for the body section of your research paper: This section will include three to four paragraphs comprised of five to seven sentences each. Each paragraph should be between 150-200 words. At a minimum, this portion of the paper should be 450-600 words (for three to four paragraphs); a body section of this length will meet the minimum requirements of the assignment. Revisions must be substantive and should be made in accordance with the direction given by the professor’s feedback. The following components must be included in each body paragraph (in the following order).
• Sentence 1: Point/reason sentence: This topic sentence will contain one of your reasons.
• Sentence 2: Explanation: In this sentence, you will provide information that further develops or explains Sentence 1.
• Sentence 3: Illustration: This sentence introduces evidence that supports the reason that is presented in Sentence 1.
• Sentence 4: Explanation of the illustration: Because the evidence does not necessarily stand on its own, you need to provide explanation so that the reader will understand how you interpreted the evidence to come to your reason.
• Sentences 5-6: Second illustration and explanation (optional): You may choose to include a second piece of evidence that is then followed by an explanation.
• Last Sentence: Transition: In this sentence, you will signal to the reader that you will be moving on to another point in the next paragraph. You do this to ease the movement from one point to another.
• Be sure to include the introduction and literature review you have already created and revised.
• Use APA conventions to cite and reference all sources used to support your argument.
PROFESSORS NOTES
Remember that each of your paragraphs have three basic elements: a topic sentence that supports your thesis statement, adequate supporting information that proves your claim, and a summary/transition sentence that transitions between your ideas. Each of your body paragraphs should clearly state your argument. Consider these ideas for your next draft.
Organization: Please be certain that you have a clear sense of the progression of your thoughts and delivery of those ideas in an easy-to-understand way.
Grammar & Style Conventions: For your next draft, consider reading your writing out loud to hear how it sounds. Another technique is to have someone read your draft out loud to you, so not only can you hear how it sounds but you can also hear how your reader will interpret your information.
Resources & References:
For review: Always keep in mind the importance of citing where necessary. Even if you read and internalize the information, if it comes from a source, then you need to cite it. Even if you paraphrase, you must cite your course. It is not enough to just quote; you must always parenthetically cite. If you can, always include page numbers as well. If no page number is available, as in the case of many electronic sources, then use the paragraph number.
According to Smith (2009), “Quotation goes here” (p. 23).
One source indicates that “quotation goes here” (Smith, 2009, p. 23).
See the examples of basic in-text citations in your APA Guide. Note that the three main elements used for parenthetical citations are the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number or paragraph number. The two most essential are the author’s last name and year of publication. You should not include any other information because your reader can find this additional information in the reference list citation.
Addition: 1-2 visual aids that support your paper would be great.
