What is a Content Paragraph?
Content paragraphs are the “meat” of your paper. They are approximately 5 sentences, are based on research, and contain citations to your sources. Following your outline, each paragraph has a different but related topic to discuss. In a research paper, content paragraphs are based on material from other scholarly sources; they are not based on personal opinion or experience. Content paragraphs must contain citations to show where the information is from.
