Elaborate As you develop your body paragraphs, you must elaborate on the material in your outline. Support main points with facts, statistics, reasons, examples, or quotations from your notes. Clarify connections between concepts by synthesizing information and using transition words and phrases. Use glue methods 1 and 2 throughout your paper to combine thoughts and add complexity. Ex:, + FANBOY / ; / ; + conjunctive adverb
