📝 Crafting Effective Topic Sentences and Body Paragraphs
In this paragraph, Tim delves into the specifics of crafting effective topic sentences for body paragraphs. He emphasizes the importance of starting with a transitional word, referencing the example, and stating the argument. Tim uses his own thesis as a guide to create a topic sentence that acknowledges potential negative psychological effects of horror entertainment but argues that it can be enriching when consumed in appropriate settings. He advises against including source material in the topic sentence unless it serves as a counterargument and stresses the importance of a clear, logical structure in paragraph writing.
🧠 Discussing the Psychological and Social Benefits of Horror Entertainment
Tim continues the discussion by providing evidence from studies that suggest horror entertainment can be enriching when viewed in social settings. He explains how watching horror films with others can create a supportive social adventure and a rush of adrenaline, which can be beneficial for individuals. Tim also introduces the idea that viewing horror films with friends can increase feelings of relative safety and help people cope with potentially traumatic content. He uses strong verbs and cause-and-effect language to maintain a clear line of reasoning throughout the paragraph.
🎥 Analyzing the Impact of Horror Films on Emotional Bonds and Justice Perception
Tim concludes the body paragraph by introducing additional research from Jeffrey Goldstein, a professor who studies violent entertainment. He discusses the benefits of horror films, including their ability to provide resolutions to storylines, reminding viewers of the difference between truth and fiction, and promoting the positive ideal that justice is possible. Tim argues that these films can help viewers cope with real-life 'monsters' and emerge from theaters with stronger emotional bonds, renewed hopes for a just world, and a greater understanding of life's uncertainties.

Transcripts
this is the guard of english i'm tim
freitas and today we're going to go over
body paragraphing for synthesis so
you're going to want to check it out
okay what you're going to want to do now
that you're here is you're going to want
to just click like and subscribe and the
reason why is because at the garden of
english we have covered
all of the elements of the ap exam in
terms of essay writing
and you're going to want to check those
out and we're going to continue to give
out little pointers and whatnot
as the exam approaches and you don't
want to miss any of those so
it also helps us out anyway we are here
today to talk about
our synthesis paragraph and we are
continuing to
actually discuss a synthesis prompt that
i wrote about fear and horror
and if you have not seen any of the
videos about that you're going to want
to check up
here for those videos and you're going
to want to watch them in order because
it's going to help you understand where
we are at
today we are talking about body
paragraphing
okay um so what we're going to do is
we're going to go over just the
mechanics of body paragraphing i'll give
you basic structures and some some tips
and whatnot
so we might as well just get right into
things by the way
you can actually find links to the
prompt that i'm using right down below
um in the description down below uh
you'll also find some affiliate links
down there to some other cool things
that i that i support
um that will that can and will help you
study for your ap
exams or prepare your classes for their
ap exams okay
but anyway so we have our synthesis
prompt and our synthesis prompt says
something along the lines of develop a
position
on how commercializing fear and horror
um
influence how individuals respond to the
unknown and the macabre so that's kind
of our prompt here and like i said you
can find that in the description down
below
and then we have our sources and we've
already gone through all of those things
and now we have to actually produce body
paragraphs now what i decided to do
today is if you've
been watching any of my videos you know
that i don't like horror films
and of course it would make way more
sense for me to write an argument that
says hey
this idea of commercializing fear horror
fear and horror is
terrible for an individual psyche and it
leads to bad behavior and whatnot
and because that's what i would be
expected to do i decided to write from a
different perspective
uh and the reason why is because we have
to be able to do that we have to be able
to say okay
can we argue for the other side
objectively and i decided that i wanted
to try to do that so what i've done here
is i've actually
written a thesis in response to this
prompt how does commercializing fear and
horror get individuals to respond to the
unknown and the macabre
and here's my thesis and now we're going
to talk about how the thesis will guide
our body paragraphs and i'll show you
what a body paragraph should do
so the thesis says since it's documented
that horror-based entertainment
potentially has negative effects on
psychological health
it may seem like such media should be
disregarded
however commercialized fear is
beneficial to individuals because such
entertainment provides them with a safe
way sorry with safe ways to understand
not only the mysterious elements of life
but also a little more about themselves
and so notice that i'm actually arguing
that hey
maybe there are decent outcomes from
this idea of commercializing
fear and horror with harvard-based
entertainment
so now what's going to happen is this i
have to follow my
thesis here and my thesis is going to
suggest upfront
if i'm writing this paragraph in full i
do have to concede that there does seem
to be some negative outcomes
that um psychologically that such media
does kind of push
so i'm not telling you that
this is my first body paragraph i'm just
saying this is a body paragraph
somewhere in my paper you will notice
though that my topic sentence starts
with the word although
so it does admit that i'm gonna start
with some sort of a concession or a
counter argument so that does fit in the
scheme of my thesis
but i want you to just think right now
okay when i think about
body paragraphing let's focus on that
but notice here i start with a null
though and
my although is actually going to clarify
the negative psychological effects here
and look at my topic sentence here now
this doesn't mean that you start every
topic sentence with all though
what you need to know about topic
sentences is this a topic sentence
should have some sort of transitional
language
transitional language we'll type that in
right now
it should have a reference
to your example and it should have your
argument
and it doesn't matter what order those
go in as long as it makes sense okay
your topic sentence does not have to
have a counter argument your argument
doesn't have to have a counter argument
if you have questions about counter
arguments by the way you can actually
check out this video up here
okay which deals about when which talks
about when you should and should not
include counter arguments
in your arguments that you write but
anyway what we want to know is do we
have foundational
traditional language a reference to your
example and your argument because that's
going to help us
understand what the topic sentence is
doing it's preparing us to say
okay what is this paragraph actually
going to be about
so please note here my topic sentence
does indeed suggest that i'm following
my thesis
and it says although early exposure to
horror-based entertainment could
potentially lead some to develop
anxiety disorders or an unhealthy
interest in the occult and paranormal
studies seem to suggest that when this
type of entertainment is consumed in
appropriate settings
the end results are actually quite
enriching for an individual so that's my
topic sentence
my topic sentence you'll notice does
deal with a little bit of this
concession um that i put in my thesis so
it's like okay this
does fit as a first body paragraph
you'll also notice too that i did put
some source material in my topic
sentence let me make this very clear
i do not encourage my kids to do this
unless
unless they are actually putting this
um source material in as a counter
argument uh really you don't want to
put source material in the topic
sentence unless you really know what
you're doing
and the reason why is because typically
your topic sentence it goes topic
sentence evidence commentary
that's the easiest way to structure your
paragraph and if you put your evidence
in your topic sentence as well you're
skipping out a very important part that
organizes your paper for a line of
reasoning so that's just something to
consider
anyway you'll notice that my topic
sentence here though does kind of
dismiss
right this idea or concede this idea
that this is true it can lead some to
develop
anxiety disorders and an unhealthy
interest uh in the
paranormal that's not what i want to
focus on i want to focus on the next
part
notice how it says studies seem to
suggest that when this type of
entertainment is consumed in appropriate
settings
the end results are actually quite
enriching for an individual so now
notice i
right here is the reference to my
example and then i've got my argument
right here my argument is when this is
done in an appropriate setting so i'm
going to talk about that
and then it also says it can be
enriching for an individual to actually
experience this type of entertainment
so now i need to prove that there are
studies that that say this
and then i need to explain how those
studies show that this can be enriching
to an individual and if i do that in my
paragraph we're good
so what i'm also suggesting here folks
is this that if i got rid of my little
concession right here
i could still have a strong paragraph if
i just got rid of it right
and i started with studies seem to
suggest this is the case
however if i were to get rid of this
concession this would not be
my first body paragraph in my paper and
that's because
that would then say commercialized fear
is beneficial and therefore
i would have to do that after i deal
with this concession
that starts my thesis because my thesis
is going to order how i
go through my paper okay so anyway
i've got my topic sentence now i need to
include textual evidence of studies that
seem to suggest
that this can be enriching so notice
what i do here i've got a little bit of
transitional language here that's what
this purple stands for so the green
stands for ham
here's my textual evidence from studies
the pink here
stands for hey this is my argument right
appropriate settings can be
enriching for an individual and we've
got this kind of purple language here
that's going to be transitional language
that helps maintain a line of reasoning
so i have for example one commonality
that researchers
often observe about those who attend
horror movies
is that most people no matter the age
rarely view these films alone
as they rehearse possible threatening
scenarios that are experienced in the
films
notice what i did here i actually took
from two different studies from two
different sources and i
synthesize that into my own sentence
this is how you know when synthesis is
done
really well because if i were to read
that you didn't see the quotes in the
citations you couldn't tell where my
words end and your words begin
that is strong synthesis here and i've
pulled it from
what the research says in these two
sources okay
so now i need to talk about how not
viewing these films alone
and the uh and dealing with these
life-threatening
life-threatening scenarios in a safe way
how does that become enriching for
people
so that's where the commentary comes in
now i have a very basic commentary
template that i start my kids off on i
then teach them to break free from this
but this basic commentary template is
actually strong
you're going to see it as i go
throughout the basic template has
students say
this evidence which we just mentioned
here proves
disproves challenges refute suggests
implies any type of verb that
fits right most often up here right see
how it says suggests up here i could
pull it straight down if i wanted to so
we want to say this evidence
put a good verb there and then we put
um the argument from the topic sentence
right in here
so we're gonna put the argument up i can
spell
argument from topic sentence
because and then you explain how the
evidence does so
this word because is just so important
and this is if you struggle with
commentary
i want you to go back to your last paper
and see after you put in evidence
look at your next sentence did you just
make a claim this shows this or this
does this if you put the word because at
the end of that sentence
i promise you you would actually have
stronger commentary
so we want this word because here and
you're going to explain how your
evidence proves your claim or claims
from your topic sentence
and then relates to your thesis so we're
going to actually put a little s here
right as well so watch what happens here
i've got my studies
i need to say that this is an
appropriate setting and i need to show
how this is beneficial to an individual
here's the the stats here right
people don't do it alone and they
rehearse possibly life-threatening such
situations but in a safe and contained
setting so here we go
this evidence proves the enriching
ability of horror films
now notice what i did here okay is i
just pulled that idea
maybe with synonyms or exact language
from my topic sentence so you're going
to see it traced all the way down
so this evidence proves the enriching
ability of horror films because
enjoying such entertainment actually
establishes a
supportive social adventure
one in which any viewer is actually
trying to show
others he or she is strong enough to
make it through the film
and receive the natural high provided by
the rush of adrenaline
so notice what i did here is that as i'm
providing my commentary and this is a
sophisticated move
i'm now taking some evidence from a
source
and i'm actually putting it in my
commentary as well and once again it
flows you can't tell where my words end
and the quotes begin besides the fact
that you can see these quotation marks
so this is really looking nice here
because i'm explaining how is this
enriching
because it puts you in a social setting
that's supportive
that's a good thing and then you can
actually experience these kind of
natural highs from the rush of the
adrenaline
and you have to do it with your friends
super cool so now look at what i do
as i say he it's an enrich it's an
enriching
right uh appropriate setting for for
individuals look at how i then connect
it i say furthermore
viewing these films with friends is an
entirely appropriate setting so i go
back to that similar idea by pulling
that same language down
since it increases feelings of relative
safety
which is particularly important when
exposing oneself to potentially
traumatic content
no matter how how unrealistic it is now
notice that i put the word since right
here
that's i could put the word because
there and this would still make sense
i'm just
trying not to repeat the word because so
much good commentary is going to be
loaded with cause and effect language
and you'll actually see that
with all of my blue language that's
highlighted here that's why this is
highlighted blue
okay so i tried to color code this for
you i'll go through what every part of
this means
another part of commentary though is
also really trying to rely on strong
verbs
and uh stereotypes and word connotations
you need to articulate those
and one of the things that you'll notice
is that i've got these yellow words here
these are the verbs that i'm picking i'm
not just saying says and claims
and states those are garbage verbs we
don't want that we want strong verbs
and so because of that um i'm really
looking um
if you look at my yellow words here
you're going to notice that they're
connotatively meaningful
and we want that okay and what's
underlined here is a stereotype that i'm
bringing out
right um when it's just an assumption
that i have right
when you're exposing someone to
traumatic content or yourself to that
it's nice to have people around to
support you okay
um and and then because of that you'll
feel safer let me continue my commentary
such an experience in this sense is able
is also potentially beneficial so once
we do it in a social setting because
it's appropriate and we feel safe
it's also potentially beneficial same
argument for my topic sentence
for the consumer due to the fact that
he or she can bond with others who
were able or we should actually change
that to r
right can bond with others who are able
to empathize
with his or her experiences so now look
at what i'm doing here is i'm connecting
all of my
commentary and reasoning together and i
have
this is enriching because it's a social
setting it's an appropriate setting
and this is also potentially beneficial
which is just another way to say
enriching so i've got that same idea all
the way throughout
as i continue while being scared
individuals often exhibit a side of
vulnerability in moments like these
having the support uh sorry while being
scared
individuals often exhibit a side of
vulnerability and in moments like these
having the support of friends and or
peers makes it easier to overcome
the fictional dilemmas that right there
is a straight assumption that's a
stereotype that i know
that's allowing me to connect how this
can be enriching so i put it right in
there and i underlined it
now now that i provide the commentary
i'm like you know what though
i need to go a little bit further here
so i'm going to introduce some more
evidence and i'm going to have a layered
paragraph right
and another study okay because that's
what i'm talking about talking about
research right
so i have in addition jeffrey goldstein
a professor who studies violent
entertainment
reminds people that the benefit of many
slasher thrasher movies
is that they also often provide just
resolutions to their storylines
notice what i did here is i started to
include more research
first of all when i mentioned jeffrey
goldstein i didn't just say his name and
then go into he reminds people i put his
credentials there
okay super important i'm gonna go over
that in my next video as to why
okay but also notice that i put the word
reminds i didn't say says
states or claims in fact those three
verbs kind of suck
right use strong verbs we want to say
things like theorize
suggest um remind
recount argues those are way better
verbs we want to pick those out
okay but notice that i'm also talking
about another study that talks about the
the desire for human beings to have a
just resolution okay well how is this
beneficial i need to provide the
commentary for that and i do that right
here
such uplifting notes stand to remind
people about the difference between
truth and fiction and promote the
positive ideal
that justice is possible and notice that
i put
source e at the end of the sentence and
not right here that's because all of it
comes from source c
even if they don't end justly that would
be those movies these movies can act as
covert rehearsals which help viewers
cope with the real life monsters
sorry with real life monsters should
consumers run into them
thus so know this word this word thus
right here
is also that kind of cause and effect
language we'll highlight that blue
thus emerging from the theaters right if
we were to watch a film like this
emerging from the theaters with stronger
emotional bonds
renewed hopes for a just world a
stronger sense of self-determination
and even a greater understanding of all
the unknown that could go wrong in life
is certainly worth the inexpensive cost
of watching a countdown to someone's
head exploding
source a and that's the end of my
paragraph
that folks is a strong paragraph with
strong commentary and strong synthesis
and this is what we're trying to do now
i do have a couple notes on the bottom
of this document and just so you know
this document will indeed be
can be found right in the description
down below okay
my first note is that when you provide
commentary what you want to do is you
want to rely heavily on cause and effect
language and i give examples of some
here because
due to so since thus consequently
therefore
as etc okay cause and effect language
should be showing up all throughout
that's why i've got so much blue
that's why i've got so much blue in here
okay and i've bolded it for you just so
it sticks out
also when you provide commentary you
want to articulate assumptions and
stereotypes in your understandings of
the world
to connect the evidence to your claims
that's what i do here with my underlying
parts those kind of assumptions
okay and then i also say when you
provide commentary you want to really
focus
on the verbs that you use you put in the
best verbs possible
and commentary is actually going to be
implied as you use them it's really
precise here
and i've highlighted all of those in
yellow for you to see
okay now one other note and this is
about sophisticated synthesis
is this your commentary will incorporate
nuggets of quotes from other sources as
well
and therefore your ideas will be fully
synthetic i mean if you read
my topic sentence my evidence and my
commentary you will see these quotes
popping in and out consistently
and you're going to be like wow that
really fits in but i know what his
argument is
his argument is is that viewing these it
can be socially
and personally beneficial in
understanding the unknown and even
ourselves
and that's exactly what my topic
sentence says and that relates directly
to my thesis
as well and so because of that i've got
a perfectly clear line of reasoning
and i can go right into my next topic
sentence uh to support this
which will then guide my next body
paragraph to support this okay
so that's how you actually want to
produce body paragraphs and you want to
do
preferably two to three you'll notice
that i pulled from a myriad of sources
there
and also you might want to go back and
just look at how i included source a
with just a quick little description at
the end
that is citing the source i don't need
to provide commentary for that
because it just fits directly in with my
ideas i was providing commentary what
came before
okay so we do want to recognize such
things now if this video was helpful i
want to ask that you help us by
clicking like and subscribe it's the
