U.N.I.T.Y.: it's a unity

Unity

• When the subject matter all connects back to one point.

Essay Unity

• When each body paragraph is unified around the thesis statement and can clearly linked back to it.

Paragraph Unity

• When the reasons and examples are unified around the topic sentence.

For Essay 3:

• One body paragraph=one step in the advice. Reasons and examples must unify around that one step. The clearer and more specific the step (your language!), the easier to identify what content is unified and which of your ideas "goes somewhere new."

• Each body paragraph should unify with the thesis sentence advice. If your advice is too broad, you will have bigger unity issues. If you give more than one piece of advice and they don't all connect to a biggest piece of advice, your essay is not unified and on purpose.
