how to build internal coherence throughout your paragraphs

remember that in a paper coherence means that there is a discursive thread between paragraphs.

for example:

P is a paragraph, T is your thesis, C is the counter, (xi) is the sub-argument 

P₁ T (x₁): in this first paragraph you expose your thesis.

P₂ C (x₁): in this second paragraph the counter "counters" your thesis (x₁)

P₃ T (C(x₁)): for paragraph 3 you discuss the counter's last point. you should not move on to another sub-argument without settling the present argument. however, if you think this is enough, then let the reader know that you've won that sub-argument, something like, "now it becomes clear that C (x₁) is not the case."

for paragraph 4, you can move to the next sub-argument:  

P₄ T (x₂)

and follow the same dynamic.
