Week 3

The purpose of the Week 3 Body Paragraphs assignment is to construct three body paragraphs for the Final Essay, due in Week 5.

Review instructor feedback from your previous week's assignment, paying specific attention to the feedback regarding your thesis statement and topic sentences.

Review this week's tutorials on punctuation and grammar in the Grammar Tutorials and Quizzes Learning Activity to assist you with the usage of proper punctuation and grammar in your body paragraphs. 

Review the Body Paragraphs Sample Assignment to give you an idea of the expectations for this assignment.

Complete the Body Paragraphs assignment, using the Body Paragraphs Template.

• This assignment should be at      least 350 words.
• Fill out the title      page of the template.
• Write your thesis      statement at the top of the second page in the template. Remember that the      thesis statement presents the main ideas that will be discussed in the      body paragraphs.
• Write at least one      paragraph for each of the three supporting points of your thesis      statement. 
  • Each paragraph should begin       with a topic sentence, include another 5 to 8 supporting sentences with       details, and end with a concluding sentence that leads the reader to the       next main idea and paragraph.
  • Double space the body       paragraphs and use Times New Roman 12-point font.
• Add your two scholarly      article sources to the reference page at the end of the paper. You may use      the Reference and Citation Generator to      help you construct the reference page for this assignment. You may also      consult the information you entered in your Organizing Ideas Worksheet      from Week 2. 

You do not need to include the introduction and conclusion paragraphs this week, as you will be working on those next week.
