I'm sure I'm not fooling anyone by pointing out that the body is basically just a collection of paragraphs. Therefore, your argument should answer the question “why” in your topic sentence. All About Me Students create an outline for a paragraph about themselves. All the great Writing about Babel's charged opening paragraphs in her stellar craft book Reading Like a Writer, Francine Prose may as well have been writing about my own feelings on Salter. When you write an argumentative paragraph, the primary purpose is to convince your readers that your argument is valid. Students sort the cards and then must write their own main idea sentence. Salter's balance of short declarative and longer lyrical sentences is sharply observant, such as in the opening of “Am Strande von Tanger” (from Dusk and Other Stories): Barcelona at dawn.
