Analytic Paragraph Checklist

• I begin the paragraph with a topic sentence that includes clear transition language and a clear argument that builds on my claim.
• I include multiple “bite size” quotes and/or details from the book that are related to one another and support my argument.
• I introduce quotes with context from the book and explain what’s happening in this part of the text.
• I embed my quotes smoothly into my own writing.
• I use marker verbs (e.g., demonstrates, illustrates, conveys, implies, suggests, reveals, indicates) to clarify my analysis.
• I use a variety of “dig deep” strategies to explain the significance of my evidence.
• I include transition words and phrases throughout my paragraph to connect my ideas.
