From Outline to Body Paragraphs
Here is an excerpt from a ENGL 102 students Outline:
Topic Sentence #3: Health practitioners have the most confidential interaction with teens, so they should take that opportunity to offer sexual health programs within the clinic setting where teens can feel comfortable discussing sex topics and providers can explain the possible consequences of having unsafe sex and discuss preventive methods and sexual health options.
Quote 1: Allowing patients to practice communication skills with nurses in a safe environment would enable girls to learn positive approaches to improve their sexual behavior negotiation skills (Morrison-Beedy, Xia, and Passmore 3296).
Quote 2: Furthermore, interventions can attempt to change perceptions by providing accurate information to dispel myths about peers risky behavior and by promoting the normativeness of safer sex (Lansford, et al. 1749).
Quote 3: Disadvantaged youth also have limited access to high-quality health care, through which sexual services and information are obtained (Cheng, et al. 518).
Quote 4: Engaging girls in nonjudgmental conversations where they can discuss what motivates their sexual decisions can provide nurses with a basis to guide the girls towards appropriate risk-reduction choices by providing them with a menu of individualized options they can use to protect their sexual health based on their individual needs (Morrison-Beedy, Xia, and Passmore 3296).
Quote 5: The presence of sexual health clinics, access to birth control, communication about sexuality, and emphasis on sexual pleasure cannot be framed only as important for girls sexual healthbut as investments in their future economic security, mental and physical health, and social integration (Cheng, et al. 536).
Quote 6: Our findings also suggest that some marginalized youth encounter barriers to self-efficacy in the home, wherein lieu of effective public health programmingmuch sexual information is transmitted (Cheng, et al. 535).
Quote 7: Identifying motivations for sex will aid nurses as they guide clients to appropriate resources, provide education and help them employ behavioural strategies to help them reduce sexual risk behaviours (Morrison-Beedy, Xia, and Passmore 3296).
Here is the body paragraph that the student created using the same topic sentence and quotations from that excerpt, with the quotations. Please note how the student integrates the quotations and explains the connections BETWEEN the topic sentence and the quotations throughout the paragraph and uses key words to do it:
Health practitioners have the most confidential interaction with teens, so they should take that opportunity to offer sexual health programs within the clinic setting where teens can feel comfortable discussing sex topics and where providers can explain the possible consequences of having unsafe sex and discuss preventive methods and sexual health options. Some teens may not have access to high quality health care, and this is why American health care practitioners must explain to teens about the sexual health options that are available to them as well as the consequences of unsafe sex practices. In their study, Cheng and fellow researchers note that in the United States Disadvantaged youth also have limited access to high-quality health care, through which sexual services and information are obtained (518). In this nations healthcare settings, teens can and should get accurate information that will give them facts about the possible consequences of engaging in dangerous and potentially risky behaviors: interventions can attempt to change perceptions by providing accurate information to dispel myths about peers risky behavior and by promoting the normativeness of safer sex (Lansford, et al. 1749). When adolescents see and interact with their health practitioner, the entire visit is confidential even from the parents, and that is why it would be beneficial for Americas health practitioners to have sexual health programs within the clinic where teens can talk freely and with candor about their sexual behaviors. Morrison-Beedy, Xia, and Passmores research show that in therapeutic settings Allowing patients to practice communication skills with nurses in a safe environment would enable girls to learn positive approaches to improve their sexual behavior negotiation skills (3296). As health practitioners, well-trained nurses normally have the first interactions with young girls when they see their health providers. This can be an opportunity for them to discuss sexual health topics with adolescent girls: Engaging girls in nonjudgmental conversations where they can discuss what motivates their sexual decisions can provide nurses with a basis to guide the girls towards appropriate risk-reduction choices by providing them with a menu of individualized options they can use to protect their sexual health based on their individual needs (Morrison-Beedy, Xia, and Passmore 3296). Also, if a nurse can get teens to feel comfortable enough to fully open up about their sexual decisions, then nurses can use that information to help direct them towards making positive decisions about preventative methods. Writing Body Paragraphs After Finding Quotes
Task: To write EACH of your four body paragraphs, you should
Make your topic sentence the first sentence of the body paragraph. You can even cut and paste it directly from your outline.
Write a sentence explaining your topic sentence more thoroughly in your own words, defining terms that your audience might not be familiar with, or giving background information essential to understanding your ideas.
LOOK at your Outline Part II and find the first/next quotation you want to include to support your topic sentence. THINK about how it helps you to persuade your audience in favor of the topic sentence.
Even though the connection between your argument and your evidence may seem obvious to you, it may not seem obvious to your audience. Write a sentence in which you EXPLAIN how that ONE quotation supports your topic sentence. Be sure to use at least one key word from your topic sentence in that sentence.
Integrate that explanation sentence with the quotation. NEVER let quotations stand alone.
Include a transitional phrase that will lead to the next quotation.
Repeat 3, 4, and 5 until youve used all of the quotations that support that topic sentence.
Use paraphrase carefully or not at all. (See the plagiarism contract and How to Paraphrase). You are not required to paraphrase.
Make the last sentence of the paragraph a transition to the next paragraph
Do a WORD COUNT. Each body paragraph should be at about 400 or so words. The list of works cited DOES NOT COUNT in the word count. Research Outline 2
Thesis: Happy marriages evolve in the face of inevitable challenges.
TS 1: Everyone has their own meaning of what a happy marriage or relationship is.
1. The relationship between marriage and happiness is, like most things in psychological science, bi-directional. In other words, its what you do to foster happiness as an individual and a spouse that makes a difference, not marriage all by itself (Simon-Thomas).
2. Happy marriage is the shared sense of a couple that they have found or achieved a special good fit between their individual needs, wishes, and expectations, a fit that they regard as unique and probably irreplaceable (Wallerstein).
3. A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.
4. Its not marriage that makes you happy, its happy marriage that makes you happy (Munsey).
TS 2: Relationships arent perfect, and there are times when couples go through tough challenges during marriage.
1. Relationship satisfaction in couples is almost universally high at the time of by marriage, but the average satisfaction decreases, and about 3% to 4% of couples separate each year, across the first 10 years of marriage (Halford).
2. Negative emotions are not always bad and are sometimes good, suggesting a need to have a balanced view about emotional experience and a more nuanced understanding of the roles of positive and negative subjective experiences in well-being (McMahan et al.).
3. Happiness would lose all meaning were it not balanced by sadness (McMahan et al.).
TS 3: To maintain a happy and healthy marriage, communication with your partner regularly is an effective intervention that keeps relationships together.
TS 4: Another tool that keep marriages happy and strong is by seeking forgiveness in your relationship when needed.
1. When interpersonal transgressions occur in marriage they can elicit strong negative feelings and have the potential to disrupt the relationship. Perhaps not surprisingly, spouses report that the capacity to seek and grant forgiveness is one of the most important factors contributing to marital longevity and marital satisfaction (Fincham et al.).
2. Conflict resolution is integral to a successful relationship and it can be argued that resentment engendered by partner transgressions is likely to fuel couple conflict and impede successful conflict resolution (Fincham et al.).
3. Couples who practice forgiveness can rid themselves of the toxic hurt and shame that holds them back from feeling connected to each other (Gaspard, Terry).
4. The problem with holding on to resentment toward your partner is that it often leads to withdrawal and a lack of vulnerability. Over time, this can erode trust (Gaspard, Terry).
5. Often people equate forgiveness with weakness, and it is widely believed that if you forgive someone, youre condoning or excusing their behavior. However, in marriage, forgiveness is a strength because it shows you are capable of goodwill toward your partner (Gaspard, Terry).
6. Self-forgiveness plays an interesting role in marriage as spouses must frequently deal with the fact that they have behaved in a way that was hurtful to their partner (Fincham et al.).
