So far we have gathered and paraphrased a lot of research on our book topics . The research is divided by chapter topic. Now, we can begin creating our chapter paragraphs. It can be tempting to shove all of the paraphrased research together to create a paragraph, but we can write better than that! Remember, each paragraph should flow well and sound cohesive. Be sure to follow the stoplight paragraph below to include a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a closing sentence. The topic and closing sentences will not have any researched information. These sentences are for introducing the topic and concluding the paragraph only.

Be sure to use transition words to help make your paraphrased information into a good, cohesive paragraph. You do not have to use a transition word at the start of every sentence, but use them occasionally in your writing to help your individual facts become a complete paragraph.
