The MEAL plan for paragraphs involves a main idea, evidence, analysis, and a link to the next paragraph. Your thesis statement is the main idea for the whole paper. Each paragraph should be related to the thesis statement. Read the following paragraph: Throughout the past century, businessmen and motivational experts have placed goal setting as a central construct of their success argument. Although their work is largely anecdotal, scholarly literature from several domains supports their position. For example, Locke and Latham created the primary goal-setting theory that is used today in the business world. Researchers in a number of empirical studies have verified the effectiveness of this theory and others. Psychological and educational investigators also have associated goal setting with success among elementary school students, high school students, and university undergraduates.
