style and voice by adding more yellow sentences and dropping the 6 and 7 set!  
 
  1. Topic Sentence (grabs the reader's attention)    
2. Reason, Detail, or Fact (or quote if responding to literature)  
3. Explanation or Analysis of RDF    
4. Reason, Detail, or Fact (or quote if responding to literature)  
5. Explanation or Analysis of RDF    
6. Reason, Detail, or Fact (or quote if responding to literature)

estatblish a THESIS to guide the rest of a paper)
