![]() Let’s say your next paragraph has nothing to do with the importance of taking time to observe things in nature. To support this point, you brought up the example of Isaac Newton and his observation of gravity as an apple fell and hit his head. Let’s say one of your body paragraphs talks about how spending time in nature is important because it helps people observe phenomenon they would not otherwise pay attention to, which can lead to great discoveries about our universe. The “Addition” Transition (moving between different aspects of your thesis): I did that above with “ used passionate and deliberate words to inspire….” Because, remember? I’m trying to argue in my essay that words are powerful and can get people to do something. That means it needs to relate back to your thesis, so go ahead and give your thesis a nod. ![]() Remember, the transition is also a topic sentence. “In the same way that King George VI’s speech riled a nation to arms, the president of my school’s community outreach club used passionate and deliberate words to inspire our club to fundraise over $5,000 for the homeless orphans of L.A.” In these situations, use the “like” transition.Į.g. You are talking about the same aspect of your thesis – that words have the power to move people to action. ![]() For example, maybe the president of a club at your school gave a speech that made everyone pitch in. The second example you give is simply another example of how someone used words to inspire action. The first example you give is King George VI giving a powerful and rousing speech that inspired the English people to be brave and fight in World War I. Let’s say you’re writing on the power of words to move people to great action. The “Like” Transition (moving between the same aspect of your thesis): Smooth is good, like Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. No need to get fancy, just enough to show you can transition. There are many ways to transition, but here are a couple tried and true favorites. They are better than no transition at all.īut we’re not happy with “okay” around these parts. Something as simple as “Another situation where…” or “(Your example) is another event that (supports your thesis)” are okay. You still start with a topic sentence, but because this is your second example paragraph, you need to seamlessly transition between the end of Paragraph 2 and the beginning of Paragraph 3. It’s exactly the same as Paragraph 2 with one exception. ![]() Transitions are still topic sentences, so relate them back to your thesis.There needs to be transition between paragraphs.Paragraph 3 is identical to Paragraph 2 w/ one exception (transition). ![]()
