Moving from outline to paper
Before you begin:
Remember—It’s a first draft. It’s ok to ignore formatting and spellinபைடு நூலகம் for now.
However, don’t ignore references or citations. They will be hard to track down later if you ignore them now.
Allow time for revision or outside editing, or both.
Transition Sentences
What do transitions do?
Help readers understand how paragraphs work together, and build to an overall point.
Highlight connections between paragraphs. By referencing in one paragraph the relevant material from previous ones, writers can develop important points for their readers.
1) move the paragraph elsewhere 2) Include a transition sentence to introduce the
paragraph Cut the paragraph if it is no longer relevant
Flow of your argument
Continue one paragraph where another leaves off
If this is especially challenging, it’s possible the paragraphs don't belong together at all.
Use key phrases from the previous paragraph and highlighting them in the next to create an obvious progression for readers.
