Present the evidence from the text—often you will need more than one piece to support your claim. Shoot for three: 0 Your evidence may be a phrase; 0 It may be a passage; 0 It may be purposeful paraphrase.

Follow each piece of evidence with your own commentary (explanation) and analysis of how the evidence supports your claim and the question you are answering. 0 Use embedded transitions between ideas to make the body paragraphs flow within and from one to the next. 0 Concluding Sentence: The last sentence of the body paragraph. It concludes the paragraph by tying the textual evidence and commentary back to the thesis.
