Write down your ideas and don't worry if they don't make sense. You can exclude and refine them later during the editing phase. Read your draft and check that your ideas are stated in a logical chronological order. Focus on the smooth transition that keeps your ideas clear and your readers focused. Body paragraphs. The body of the essay itself is organized into paragraphs, according to your outline. Remember that each paragraph focuses on one idea or aspect of your topic and should contain - so that you can address that idea correctly. Each body paragraph has three sections. The first is the topic sentence.
