Body (content) (100-120 words)
Answers
Answer:
Each body paragraph will have a topic sentence, which tells readers what your paragraph is going to be about and what you want to say about your topic. For example: One of the challenges that is unique to space is the fact that space is a vacuum, which is a risk for various reasons. This topic sentence tells readers that the paragraph that follows it will be about one of the challenges that is unique to space: the fact that it is a vacuum and the reasons why that vacuum is a risk factor.
Each body paragraph will have supporting sentences that discuss the idea or ideas in your topic sentence, using examples and/or evidence to support that discussion. This evidence can be quotes from researched sources, personal experience and observation, statistics, stories or examples.
For example: First, in a vacuum there is no atmosphere and therefore no air pressure. Without air pressure, the human body has no oxygen to sustain itself. After too many minutes without oxygen, a person would lose consciousness and eventually die. Also, in a vacuum a person's blood will gradually begin to boil. Finally, without an atmosphere, the rays of the sun can cause radiation poisoning.
These supporting sentences follow the topic sentence and tells readers what one of those reasons is and why it is a risk by giving examples of how a lack of an atmosphere and air pressure affects the human body: losing consciousness and eventually dying, the blood beginning to boil and radiation poisoning from the sun.
