The four elements of a good paragraph A Topic sentence that tells the reader what you will be discussing in the paragraph. • A Transition sentence leading in from a previous paragraph to assure smooth reading. This acts as a hand off from one idea to the next. • Specific Evidence. And Commentary that supports one of your claims and that provides a deeper level of detail than your topic sentence • A Brief wrap-up sentence that tells the reader how and why this information supports the paper’s thesis. The brief wrap-up important to your argument because it connects your reasoning and support to your thesis, and it shows that the information in the paragraph is related to your thesis and helps defend it.

  7. Read your paragraph again silently. • is there coherence? (Are the sentences related to each other). If you find one that jars you away from previous thought, mark it and insert transitional phrase later. • Do you think you have given enough analysis? Add one more thought to explore later. (you may or may not use it.) • Is there too much summary in any of the paragraph? Replace it with analysis.
