Good Grammar
please follow this criteria:
Paragraph 1 - introduction to tell me where you are going. This paragraph includes or
starts with a specific distinct thesis that states exactly what you plan to argue. it does
not say "I will discuss..." Instead, state your argument and move on to prove it- If I have
to wait until the end of the paper to figure out what your point is, you have already
failed. Some students put the thesis sentence in italics or bold it. If you want to do this
that‘s fine. It helps me zero in immediately on what you will argue and may help youkeep track of your focus.
Paragraphs 2-5 - justifications. Each subsequent paragraph proves some part of your
thesis. They start with and include sub-assertions. These sub-assertions introduce
related bits of evidence and are in effect a mini thesis that makes a refined point about
SOME aspect of the thesis. In other words, it pinpoints a specific part of the thesis and
explains why the information you present is relevant. After the sub assertion, include
your evidence - an example, quote, and citation, for example. You must include
examples from the narrative. You can combine justifications in paragraphs as long as
they relate to the sub assertion, which on a larger scale connects to the thesis. Start
each new paragraph with new sub-assertions and justification that highlights another
different part of the thesis. Continue until all parts of your thesis are illustrated and
justified. Adjust your thesis if need be.
Final Paragraph - add some deeper insight. You started with a thesis - what
additional intellectual points can you add that both reflects the original thesis but
seems to carry your initial concept further?
