1. You will need at least one linking sentence between the topic sentence and your first piece of source information.
2. You should tell us the credentials of all authors before quoting or paraphrasing them.
3. Dates of publication DO NOT belong in your paragraph.
4. Quotations and paraphrases should be explained in terms of their relationship to the topic sentence. Don’t rush from one quotation or paraphrase to the next.
5. All body paragraphs should be at least one full page long (double spaced and typed in Times New Roman 12 point font). This is very short, which means you might not make it to 10 pages for the research paper.
6. Proofread for clarity. I see some words here that don’t seem appropriate to the sentences in which you have included them.
Be sure they meet these criteria:
They are each at least one full typed, double-spaced page in length (Times New Roman 12 point font).
They each begin with clear topic sentences, telling what the paragraphs are about.
They each include one or two linking sentences to connect the topic sentences to the first quotations or paraphrases.
They each incorporate at least 4 quotations or paraphrases, every quotation or paraphrase introduced by author’s name (and credentials, if necessary), each cited by page or paragraph number, and each explained (connected to the topic sentences in some way).
They each end with concluding sentences that sum up the paragraphs.
They both use correct grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and sentence structure.
They both avoids self-reference, unsupported assertions or opinions, and “filler” (repetitive statements that don’t move the argument forward).
