Writing the Body

​

Take a look at this website.

It gives a very straightforward explanation of the research process, including

​

     writing the body

​

​

​

Your outline has many sections marked with Roman Numerals:

​

     II. Early life/Childhood​

          A. Birth

              1. When?

              2.Where?

          B. Parents / Siblings

               - names, occupations... Did parents die early? What influence did they exert?

          C. Education

          D. Significant events that impacted the person they would become

​

​

In some cases, one (possible long) paragraph is just write to cover a section. At other times, you may need multiple paragraphs to cover a section.

​

The Modern Language Association (MLA) directs how to format a research paper for English classes and other fine arts. Their latest addition does permit sub-headings like you would see in a History or Science textbook.

​

You could use the sub-heading such as Early Life and Childhood and below it have one long paragraph if this wasn't particularly important or multiple paragraphs for each point (A, B, C, D, etc).
