Susan would now take her three topics and write about them in the order she introduced them to form the body of her paper, the middle part in which she substantiates her thesis.  Since topic one is about ads that are unsuitable for children, she might write:  ¡°Parents are rightfully concerned when TV ads show a half-naked Paris Hilton cavorting about in thinly veiled sexual innuendo.¡±Â  Or:  ¡°Parents want to protect their children against ads that show sexual or violent content.¡±Â  There are many variations, including: ¡°Controversial ads should be kept from the eyes of children.¡±Â Â  I think you get the idea.

For her second topic, Susan could write: ¡°Ads that mislead or make false claims should be rejected or sent back for revision.¡±Â  And for her third: ¡°Some TV ads just cheapen the culture in which we live by extolling vice, bad habits and uncivil behavior.¡±

For each topic and each paragraph explaining that topic, Susan should provide three supporting statements.  For controversial ads, she could merely write about controversial advertising she¡¯s seen on TV or has read about in her research, or better, she could cite and quote three parents or parent groups on the effect of such advertising on children.  The more authority these parents or groups have, the better for Susan¡¯s argument.

The three paragraphs explaining Susan¡¯s topics become the body of her paper, so the only thing that¡¯s left is to write the conclusion, which could range from a summary to a call for action, but generally should repeat the thesis (reworded) to drive home the main point of the paper one last time.

It sounds simple, and it is-but to get there requires some patience and practice.  As with everything in life, good writing is learned through repetition and practice.
