TIED Paragraph Notes & Practice Using one of the topics from your thesis, write your first body paragraph. 

Topic Sentences	T: The topic sentences lets the reader know what your subject is and what you are going to prove.  Never use "I" or talk about the essay/paragraph in this sentence. Always include a key word that correlates to the list in your thesis.
Introduce Evidence	I: After the topic sentence, you should introduce  the context of your evidence (or quote).
Evidence          (this could be a quote           or logical reasoning)	E: In a Literary Response essay this is the quote that demonstrates your point.
Discuss (aka commentary)	D: You must discuss how the evidence is important in proving your assertion from the thesis. Always button up your evidence on the thesis...never let your evidence speak for itself.

To incorporate more evidence, repeat the IED portions...TIEDIED or for a large body paragraph TIEDIEDIED. Extra Discussion sentences are good too.
