expressed in its topic sentence, which is typically the first sentence of the paragraph*

*refers to the way you organize supporting sentences - chronological order, order of
importance, logical order*
 
3. Coherence

2. Develop topic sentence.
*The good topic sentence should always contain both: the topic and the controlling idea.*
The topic-is the main subject of your paragraph and the controlling idea - is the idea, focused the
topic.
 
3. Demonstrate your point (with the help of facts, details, reasons, examples; information from
the reading or last discussions, paraphrases or short quotations, statistics, polls, data, numbers,
personal experience, stories, jokes, anecdotes)
 
 
4. Give your paragraph meaning (to explain why information in your paragraph is relevant,
interesting or meaningful)
 
5. Conclude (has two crucial rules in paragraph - summarize and provide the link between the
paragraphs)
