The body is the longest part of an essay. This is where you lead the reader through your ideas, elaborating arguments and evidence for your thesis. The body is always divided into paragraphs.
In a traditional essay, you should have at least 3 body paragraphs. The first body paragraph is your strongest point. Then the second paragraph includes your next strongest point or argument. Follow this structure to your last body paragraph, which should present the weakest point you want to make.
Main Idea. The part of a topic sentence that states the main idea of the body paragraph.
