Synthesis Body Paragraphs

Topic Sentences Topic sentence should state the category of synthesis for the paragraph Is this the family, psychological, or society paragraph? 2nd and 3rd topic sentences in the following paragraphs should transition from the paragraph before it Remember that the topic sentence (including body paragraph) should be parallel to your thesis statement This means that it should look/sound like the same sentence, but with a different ending Topic sentence has to be argumentative in this paper because your thesis is argumentative

Rest of the paragraph Supporting details follow after the topic sentence. Be specific: Expand on your thoughts. Do not simply drop quotes into your paragraph. Transition between the two subjects with a sentence Use comparative and contrasting adverbs Compare both subjects within ONE paragraph, not multiple paragraphs for one category Conclude your paragraph
