Body. Simple, you’ve done this before. Body paragraphs must reflect mapping elements in content and in order of presentation. Three body paragraphs per mapping is the minimum required. Therefore, nine total body paragraphs minimum. You may have more, but NOT less. No more that two citations per paragraph. History section is the exception to this rule. Use citations to support your points or use your voice to explain/expand cited information. “Voice” means YOU, your claim, your idea. You must use your voice or your body paragraphs will simply be cited material with nothing of you included. YOU need to be in there 🙂  That does not mean, however, that you use first person. Just make the statement without saying, “I think”, “I believer”, etc. Just say it. Use transition sentences at the end or at the beginning of each paragraph (tell us what you’ve just finished telling us and what you’re about to go into). Transitions make your paper cohesive, smooth. USE THE SAMPLE PAPER. USE THE SAMPLE PAPER.

Conclusion. You’ve also done this before. Similar to the introduction but, for the most part, in reverse order. Start with a restatement of you thesis. Then, ONE sentence, one final sentence related to each of your mapping elements. Finally, a concluding hook. Remember, each element of your conclusion should be powerful, the memorable end to this project.
