Writing your body paragraphs

• Continue writing your body paragraphs • Things to pay attention to: 1. Tone-type 2. Style-sentence structure, punctuation, literary

techniques3. Linking back to the argument, topic sentence 4. Closing sentence

Tone : What will you use?

• Serious • Funny • Informative

Style: What will you do?

• Using Varied sentence structures • Global warming is a threat to society. • Although some people believe that global warming is

overstated, it is a threat to society. • Global warming, a major threat to society, needs to be

combatted. • Global warming—a major threat to society—needs to be

combatted. • Global warming needs to be combatted; it is a threat to

society.

Organization : Which will you use?

• Make sure one idea flows from the next • Think about causal arguments, flow • Can go from seriousless serious concerns • Can go from less seriousserious concerns • Can talk about succession • Weakest to strongest claim

Literary Devices: Did you utilize them?

• Alliteration • Simile• Metaphor • Ethos -ethics• Pathos -emotion• Logos –logic

Closing Sentence

• Make sure that the concluding sentence does not introduce another subject that is not covered by the paragraph. (Introducing another subject, which is not covered by the paragraph, will confuse the reader and weaken the ending.)

• In a paragraph, which explains through the use of examples, the writer must supply a strong concluding sentence. This sentence should not be just another example --it should restate the topic sentence (controlling idea) and summarize all of the examples the writer has included in the paragraph. In a paragraph, which uses examples to explain how quickly a reputation can be destroyed, the conclusion should restate the same idea. • Example: (concluding sentence) -Reputation is, indeed, a fragile thing. It takes years to build but only

a moment to lose. (This sentence restates the paragraph's main idea, not just one of the examples that the writer uses to show how fragile a reputation actually is.)

• In a "descriptive" paragraph, use a concluding sentence to draw details together into a unifying impression, which restates the impression contained in the topic sentence. In a paragraph describing someone whose appearance radiated an easy-going sense of humor, the concluding statement could be stated as follows:

• Example: (concluding sentence) -Joe had the kind of laid-back humor that could brighten anyone's day.

What not to do: Closing Statements

• Here are some things you should not do: • Do not use the words "In closing." • Do not use the words "In conclusion." • Do not repeat something you already said. • Do not introduce a new idea. • Do not confuse the reader.
