  1. IQE Construction

  2. IQE Paragraph Format - Any Body Paragraph of Any Essay • Follow the IQE structure for effective body paragraphs: • Topic Sentence – States reason your thesis is true • I- Introduces Quotation • Q – Provides the Quotation • E – Explains the Quotation

  3. Topic Sentence • States a reason why your argument/thesis is true • First sentence of each paragraph • Each topic sentence of each paragraph should address a new reason (avoid repetition)

  4. I – Introduce the Quotation • Provide the context surrounding the story/text at the place where the quotation begins

  5. Q - Quotation • Quotations are: • Any piece of information directly cited from the text (word for word) • Any piece of text you have paraphrased and was not your original words/ideas **Be sure to include a proper MLA in-text citation when quoting*

  6. E - Explanation • The explanation is: • The section of sentences that follow the quotation • Usually 2-3 sentences • Why is this quotation/fact/example significant? What does it show? • DON’T PARAPHRASE/SUMMARIZE! • Information that clearly explains how the quote you’ve chosen helps to prove your thesis and topic sentence. Link back! • Don’t assume your audience will make the connection!

  7. Normally you would have numerous IQE paragraphs/quotations per paragraph… • This is practice to work on the format • We are only writing 1 IQE paragraph • We are only using 1 quotation to support the paragraph (normally you would use 2 or more)
