  1. The Moon is Made of Green Cheese Phase Four Nuts and bolts of writing

  2. Critical Junctures • Opening statement. • Transitions. • Conclusion.

  3. Opening Statement Begin with a claim, simply put. • Expand it a little, justify, or define it. • Introduce another, related claim. • And so on. • I.e., go forward in small steps making sure you explain each step and keep it simple.

  4. Transitions • Keep verbiage to a minimum. • Summarize previous point (optional, but often useful). • Follow suggestions for opening statement to get into the next subject.

  5. Conclusion • If you have done everything carefully so far, the conclusion should be evident. It should leap out of your outline. If not, go back over your preparatory work and reread your opening statement. • As always, keep your concluding statement clear and succinct.

  6. Otherwise • You might be attracted to the approach recommended by the Philosophy Department: • In this essay I shall demonstrate that the traditional stories about the moon, that it is made of green cheese, must be true. The rocky appearance of the the moon must be explained as the result of accumulated surface debris over billions of years in the solar system. The law of cheese-equilibrium in the solar system makes no other conclusion tenable.
