Each body paragraph will reflect one idea or reason presented in your thesis statement.  The topic sentence will clearly indicate or state the reason why the reader should accept your position.  The supporting sentences why your reasoning is correct.  This will lead to your evidence or your cited information.  Following your quote, explain how this quote supports your reasoning and your claim. Each body paragraph ends with a concluding sentence or a transition thought to move to the next body paragraph.  Here is a link to a Graphic Organizer that can help organize your argumentative essay.
