7. The Body Paragraphs

Much Like the Introduction, we need to have a topic sentence and then our three main points.  Our points can be short and to the point, or more drawn out with details (as below.)  You should have NO FEWER than three sub points/details.  You MUST have a concluding sentence for each of your three subtopics.  You also need to have good transitions.  This does not mean saying, "the first thing...."  "the second thing...." etc.  Tie your topics together with your words.  

Very important- This is the part of the paper that should be full of references.  Since you are doing research, when you state a fact, you need to give credit to the place where you found it.
