Complete the Body Paragraphs assignment, using the Body Paragraphs Template.
- This assignment should be at least 350 words.

- Write at least one paragraph for each of the three supporting points of your thesis statement.
- Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence, include another 5 to 8 supporting sentences with details, and end with a concluding sentence that leads the reader to the next main idea and paragraph.
- Double space the body paragraphs and use Times New Roman 12-point font.
- Add your two scholarly article sources to the reference page at the end of the paper. You may use the Reference and Citation Generator to help you construct the reference page for this assignment. You may also consult the information you entered in your Organizing Ideas Worksheet from Week 2.
You do not need to include the introduction and conclusion paragraphs this week, as you will be working on those next week.
