Okay, now that you’ve written your introduction, it’s time to prove what you have said. This is where your body paragraphs come in. Remember, you have already made an outline of your projectwhich will help you create a strong, clear, interesting research paper. Now all you need to do is to expand, explain, support and give examples.
As you write, don’t be a perfectionist. Don’t worry about finding the perfect words, using the perfect grammar, or crafting the perfect title. There will be time to perfect your research paper later on when you edit. Right now, you just need to write.
It is helpful to look over your research before you start writing, but don’t write directly from your research. If you’re looking back and forth between your resources and your paper it’s easy to copy without really creating your own work. It’s okay to look up a specific quote or statistic, but in general your ideas should be your own at this point.
You should have at least three supporting points to help defend, prove, or explain your thesis.
Go back to your outline to check how the body of your project will be divided up.
