Each of the Body Paragraphs of an essay consist of a topic sentence, supporting details and evidence, and a concluding sentence. This week you will build the body paragraphs of your essay.

• Begin with the topic you wrote about in the Week 2 Discussion. • Revise and edit the topic sentences from the Week 3 Assignment. • Use the topic sentences to begin each of the three body paragraphs. • Add at least 2-3 sentences of supporting details and/or evidence to each of the

three body paragraphs. o Research your topic in Google Scholar and/or in the Trefry Library. o Try to add a fact or statistic to each body paragraph. o When use the ideas of other authors, make sure you add citations and

a Works Cited page (see Course Content). o Do not use direct quotes. We are focusing on paraphrasing ideas from outside

sources in this class. • If you need to add an in other words or a for example or an in other words sentence

to explain a point of evidence, please do so. • Add a concluding/transition sentence for each body paragraph. • Revise and edit the three body paragraphs. • While you must submit all three paragraphs in one MSWord document, choose
