The
"body" is a learning device: 1st part in this section is the Lit
Review. Thus, no section entitled "Body" will appear in your
paper. The body is the general name for the sections discussed below
|
|
The
Body is the essay or narrative part of the paper. The body is
the central part of your paper. The body should make up the bulk
of an assignment. It should contain particular subsections depending
on your assignment. For example, in a Draft or Final Proposal, the
body is a short paragraph based on either topics or types of analysis.
In a term paper, the body is the major section of the paper which contains
the Literature Review, the Methods Section, & the Analysis of Data--which
is made up of several types of analysis.
|
The
body should consist of several subsections. The body of the paper
should consist of several subsections, each of which makes a point and
addresses the thesis. Label these subsections, i.e., give them subheadings.
Depending on the nature of your assignment, your paper should include:
|
|
Each
of the subsections in the Body should have a brief Introduction.
( Approximately 1 paragraph ) In the social sciences, a good method
of analysis is to say what you are going to do (the summary/introduction),
then do it (the body), then say what you did (the
summary/conclusion). Review:

The
body should do what the thesis and said it would do. Each
part of the body should address some issue from the thesis statement.
If the reader cannot make a direct connection to the thesis, the paper is probably getting off-track. In general, in an academic paper, the writer cannot bring the reader back to the thesis too much! This is done by using transition statements, & connector statements which remind the reader how a particular section fits into the thesis of the assignment. |
|
All
sections & subsections should begin & end w/ transition statements.

The
last sentence of any subsection in the Body should include a brief Conclusion.
The summary/conclusion should follow the body. In the
social sciences, a good method of analysis is to say what you are going
to do (the summary/introduction), then do it (the body), then say what
you did (the summary/conclusion). Review:
