Reflect

• Before drafting your initial post, take time to reflect on one of the paragraphs in your paper. Does your topic sentence in that paragraph support your thesis statement? Is the claim in your topic sentence fully developed in the rest of the body paragraph? Think about your topic sentence’s claim and how you will add credibility to your writing.
  

Write (due Thursday, Day 3)

• In 200 to 300 words, share one of your body paragraphs. Your paragraph must include a topic sentence, one direct quote, and one paraphrased passage. Integrate both of these elements into your paragraph using proper APA in-text citations. In a final paragraph, provide the original text that you are paraphrasing. Include an APA-formatted reference list for the sources noted in the body of your paragraph.
• In a separate paragraph,
  • Explain how your topic sentence supports your thesis statement.
  • Explain how the quoted and paraphrased material supports your claims and/or adds credibility to your writing.
