  1. Turning your outline into an essay!

  2. Each body paragraph needs AT LEAST 4 things A Topic Sentence – a topic sentence introduces your reader to what you will be discussing in this paragraph The answer to your why/how question A Sandwich (Every body needs a sandwich!) – this is your quote/paraphrase and explanation A Transition – a transition shows your reader that you are now moving on to a new topic and how it connects to your previous topic

  3. Writing a Topic Sentence • A topic sentence should introduce readers to what the subject of the paragraph is. • You should state about WHAT you are going to talk about and WHY you are going to talk about this • The trials of Odysseus are the biggest example of Odysseus’ character trait of determination.

  4. Introducing Quotes • Introduce the author or work • ALWAYS use this when you are introducing a source for the first time. • For example: In The Odyssey, a collection of Greek Mythology stories, the author Homer writes, “---” (page #) • Introduce why you are using the quote • Through the trials of Odysseus he earns back the love of Penelope when he “---” • Summary of the passage • When Odysseus returns from his long journey he finds that Penelope has gained suitors. When he learns about this Odysseus decides “---”

  5. Completing the rest of the sandwich Step two is to put your quote/paraphrase into your paper. Once you have put your quote/paraphrase into your paper WITH YOUR INTEXT CITATION, your step three is to explain the quote/paraphrase.

  6. Writing a Transition • Transitions take your reader from one body paragraph to the next. • Briefly restate what your main idea was and then apply that to your next idea. • Example: While the trials of Odysseus show his determination the best, resisting the call of the sirens is another great example.
