Consider the following questions as guides for editing:
Does each paragraph have a clear connection to the overall goal of your paper (as seen, for example, in your thesis statement or in the question that you have indicated in the introduction)?
Does each paragraph focus on a main point, and is each sentence of the paragraph clearly related to that point in some way?
Have you fully explained the point you wish to make in the paragraph so that readers will be satisfied that you have answered their questions: “What?” “Why?” “How?” and “So what?”
Are the transitions between paragraphs smooth so that the reader understands how one idea is related to the next?
