How many paragraphs go in a research paper?
466519
Honestly, there is no real set number of paragraphs that make a research paper. If you are doing a research paper, then your primary concern is making sure you thoroughly research your topic. Furthermore, you should have a thesis statement or an overall main purpose to a research paper. Throwing facts down on a given topic will not get you anywhere. The best solution to your question is to write the paper until you feel you have reached your purpose. If you would like more information and detail of how to write a good research paper, feel free to email me. This is my specialty and I would have no problem aiding you in what you need help with. Good luck.

Well, the process of writing a research paper is to first determine if you are attempting to convince the reader of something (advocacy), or explore a concept neutrally from most perspectives.\n\nIf its advocacy, then decide what your position, and then figure out what it would take to prove that position. Your paper would start forth with a thesis statement, setting forth your position (what you intend to prove), and then give a summary of how you intend to go about it. Your outline would be the major points you need to prove, then for each the major arguments for and against. Your research supports those arguments. Then you conclude.\n\nIf it is a neutral exploration of the topic, then you start with a summary of the topic in general -- big picture overview. Your outline would be the major areas of discussion, or the major attributes of whatever you were describing, then sub-attributes/areas, etc. Follow normal outline format. \n\nExample: If you were writing a neutral paper about the US government, it could have the three major branches as the main topics, then for courts do state, federal district/appellate, and US Supreme, adding a section about how federal judges are appointed. However, if your paper were advocacy, say talking about the problems with federalism overriding states's rights, you might want to organize the paper by time periods: when did the states have the most rights, when/how/why did things change, etc. Or you might argue by topic: interstate commerce versus education versus welfare versus national guard. And so on.\n\nAs for terrorism, same thing. Are you advocating a position, or exploring a concept neutrally? Organize your paper appropriately.

How to write and essay in 5 paragraphs.\nParagraph 1: Tell what you are going to write about.  Break it down into three areas\nParagraphs 2-4: Write about each of the three areas.  Make sure you separate each idea into its' own seperate paragraph.\nParagraph 5: Summarize what you wrote and what it all means.\n\nAs for history, I enjoy looking at maps and atlases.  I learn about the dominant countries in each area of the world, their neighbors, any conflicts they have had with others.  What languages they speak, what countries they get along with, what products they make or food they grow their, what clothes they wear,,,etc.

first have an introductory paragraph, saying  in three short easy sentences examples of what your paper is about. Just give a brief overview. Then separte the other four paragraphs into four very important things in the person's life. If their birth is not very important, only make it part of the first paragraphs. Include very little about unecessary ideas. Like if it's Bill gates, no need to focus a lot in on his childhood, because his most important years happened when he was older. Then once you have your events divided, begin to write!

Most of the letters I wrote for students were about 3/4 of a page.  Some of those students got into top five law schools and the top ranked MBA program. \n\nThe letter that got me into my PhD program at Berkeley was only a half page long.

A summary should be short (a paragraph) and in your own words.  It presents main ideas with short explanation and few examples.\n\nFirst, read the text carefully, identify the main idea and purpose, and take notes on main points you plan to present which support this main idea.\n\nSecond, write a sentence which identifies the author and text and the main idea or purpose of the article or essay.  It will be the topic sentence of your summary paragraph.\n\nThird, present two or three explanations and examples which support the main ideas you gleaned earlier.\n\nLast, evaluate the text.  Was the author successful at convincing you, the reader, of his/her points or claims?  Give two or three reasons why or why not.\n\nThere are a lot of websites which have step-by-step instructions or good ideas about how to write them, if you do a search of "How do I write a summary?" you will have a glut of answers.

It's how you organize a composition or theme paper.\n\nIntroduction: Introduce your topic. This is where you present the idea you intend to prove.\n\nBody: Provide details, information, evidence supporting your point of view. Traditionally, this requires at least three paragraphs, each with a supporting point.\n\nConclusion: Summarize what you have proven and draw a conclusion. This is where you restate how you have proven your thesis/point.\n\nAnother way to look at it is: (1) Say what you're going to say, (2) Say it, and (3) Say what you said.\n\nHere are a few links to get you started:

in the first paragraph, introduce the piece. make a brief statement about everything you will cover.include a thesis statment, or a sentence that sums up the whole piece. you should have at least 5 paragraphs. in the middle paragraphsm go over specific parts of what you are trying to say in great detail. example-if you are writing about a musical, you might have one paragraoph where you explain the plot, one for actors, one for songs, etc. in your conclusion, you should remind your reader of everything they learned and repeat the thesis in slightly different words.

Five paragraphs are easy - 1st is intro, 2nd is your first reason, 3rd is your 2nd reason, 4th is your 3rd reason and the 5th is your conclusion.\n  In the Intro you want to lay out the issue - give "both" sides and then, without using "I" or any other reference to 1st person, explain that the side you are writing about is the "only logical conclusion" (or your words) based on the three reasons below.  Each body paragraph is a reason, which you tie back to the crux question.  You want to give the reason and explain how/why it's an important one.  In the conclusion try to avoid simply re-stating what you've said above - but refer to your arguments.\n       You didn't say if there was to be research involved or if you were to use quotations from texts... I'd still use the same essential format as above, but I would suggest a few modifications.\n     Just so you know, I've been teaching for 7 years.  I completed a couple graduate degrees and always did well on papers, i.e., I'm not talking out of my a**.  Good luck!

Ok, I thought some questions required more detail than others. I won't do it to your questions if you don't like it ;).\n\nBut, seriously, I have some posts with one word or two word answers too! I think one should give a thorough & complete answer if one gives one. It doesn't matter if the answer is 5 page or 2 words.\n\nTake care.
