Question

evidence includes direct quotes or paraphrases from the text

typical body paragraph format:

• topic sentence always goes first in the body paragraph
• 2-3 bits of evidence goes second
• explanation of the evidence goes third

which part of a body paragraph goes second when using alternating method?

• evidence
• explanation
• topic sentence
