Tips for writing

Make an argument – a statement that clearly presents your position.

If you agree with the main point of the reading, then explain why you agree – provide reasons as to why the claims are convincing. It is not enough to quote the reading and then say “I agree.”

Dedicate a separate paragraph to each sub-argument or point and explain it. It helps when you provide examples to illustrate your points.

It is better to have three well-developed and clearly explained points that support your main argument, than to have a 1000 unrelated sentences each of which presents an underdeveloped idea.

 

Paragraphs should include a topic sentence (a first sentence which presents the main idea of the paragraph) and cannot be less than 4 sentences in length (except for the introduction and conclusion, which may be 2-4 sentences in length).

 

Use only full sentences. Each sentence must have a verb.
