Best Practices for a Paper

 An effective introduction grabs the reader’s attention and sets the tone and direction for the rest of

the paper. The introduction should give the reader a clear idea of what will follow. Supporting

paragraphs move the reader from the general introduction to the more specific aspects of your

analysis.

 The body paragraphs show how the information you are providing supports and relates to your

thinking. Even though you've provided the title for each section, paragraphs across and within

sections need to effectively transition from one to the next.

 Each paragraph should include a topic sentence, which contains the main point of the paragraph.

 The conclusion brings to a close what you have presented in your paper. You have moved the

reader from the general introduction (“The intent of this paper is to critically analyze…) to the

specific supporting paragraphs, and now to the conclusion, which briefly summarizes the issue or

intent and restates the main points of your analysis (“detailed analysis of the issue of … resulted in

conclusions that indicate… and suggest proposed decisions to…”).
