Day 76: The body of a paragraph connects to the main idea and supports the conclusion.

The strategy on day 69 discussed beginning paragraphs by establishing context. In this tip, we discuss the body of the paragraph. In this section you establish the facts, the ideas, the supporting evidence, etc. to justify and explain your main point. Each sentence must

 
  1. relate to the main idea of the paragraph, and
  2. lead up to your impact/conclusion statement.

Many writers have problems with relevancy in this part of the paragraph. They write about ideas not connected to the context or the main idea. If the sentences do not connect to the main point, then you probably have content for a different paragraph.

The second common problem is that the sentences do not seem relevant to one another. If they do relate to the main point but do not seem connected to one another, reconsider the order of the sentences or how you can revise them to show their connections. Overall, they must demonstrate a progression of ideas or information that will justify the paragraph’s conclusion.
