PIPE Paragraph Analysis
Consult published criticism through JSTOR and construct a paragraph of literary research and analysis that presents observations and evidence in a PIPE format. A PIPE paragraph uses research to develop an analytical position, enabling you to assume the central voice in your paragraph and develop your ideas with reference to published criticism. Post your paragraph to a relevant passage in CommentPress as you normally would, and include a citation for your secondary source or sources (at least one) in correct MLA format.
P = POINT The point is made at the outset of your paragraph. It consists of your own claim or observation in your own words. The P may be only a single sentence, or more if the complexity of your point requires considerable explanation.
I = INFORMATION This part of the paragraph provides information about the point. It may be a definition, a theory, an example, a summary, or some other detail which supports or clarifies the POINT. If the I is common knowledge or your own account of the information, it is not documented. If the I is borrowed, it must be documented.
P = PROOFS This part of the paragraph offers research support for the point. It is drawn from secondary sources to demonstrate the accuracy of your position. The Pr must be documented whether you use a paraphrase of an authority’s views, a direct quotation, or combination thereof.
E = EXPANSION The concluding portion of PIPE explains, clarifies, emphasizes, or otherwise addresses the relationships presented in the paragraph. E is never documented because it is your explanation of the evidence offered.
