Sample Body Paragraph
Schools across the nation are using existing school lunch budgets to
provide locally grown food by working directly with farmers and by
cutting costs elsewhere, so it is a very feasible solution. Although
utilizing only fresh food would seem more expensive than the current
food utilized, it could be done for the same amount of money that is
currently spent for school lunches. According to Alice Waters and
Katrina Heron, in the article, “No Lunch Left Behind,” schools in
Berkeley have introduced organic fruits and vegetables to their menus,
“Schools here in Berkeley, for example, continue to use U.S.D.A.
commodities, but cook food from scratch and have added organic fruits
and vegetables from area farms” (Waters and Heron). Since Newark is
no more than two hours away from hundreds of farms in the Central
Valley and Salinas Valley, it is not impossible to work directly with
farmers to source fresh food, especially since all of these farmers come
to the San Francisco Bay Area frequently to sell their products to
farmers markets. So instead of selling partially frozen bagels or burgers
with generic, processed cheese, let’s start using fresh ingredients.

Connecting Ideas Using Transitions and
Semicolons
Place the transition at the beginning of the second
sentence and always place a comma after the
transition. Transitions can also sometimes begin a
sentence for additional emphasis.
sentence
transition + comma
They join two separate sentences; therefore, either a
semicolon or a period must be used at the end of the
first sentence.
Connecting Ideas Using Transitions and
Semicolons
When the ideas in two sentences are closely related
and don’t require a transition to show the logical
connection, the sentences can be joined simply with
a semicolon.
Example:
sentence
semicolon
The ideas in some sentences are closely related; they
can be joined with just a semicolon.

are even more impressive. One study suggests that a
