Body Paragraphs

​In order to create a body paragraph, we follow the TEA method. This stands for the following:

​

• ​Topic: Introduces your reason.

• ​Evidence: Uses an example to prove your reason.

• ​Analysis: Explain how your example shows you

• The 1st topic sentences are where we explain our first reason and how it relates to our topic.

• ​It is 1-2 sentences long.

• ​It should AQA (Answer the Question Asked).

• ​The topic is our glass. It is necessary for TEA, but it is still empty. We need more after the thesis!

• Example:

• ​Essay Thesis: In order to overcome challenges, one needs teamwork and resilience.

• ​1st Body Paragraph Topic Sentence:

• To begin, teamwork is necessary in order to overcome challenges. Without teamwork, life's difficulties are harder to face.
