Paragraph Writing

Topic Sentences

Reminders

1. They must be the first sentence of each paragraph.

2. They must summarize the specific paragraph.

3. There must be a clear connection between your topic sentence and the thesis statement.

Example

main topic + controlling idea

Good language learners are willing to take risks when they learn an additional language.

Supporting Details

Supporting Details

1) Must demonstrate a clear evidence between the information provided and the topic sentence.

2) Coherence: How well the ideas and sentences in a paragraph fit together.

3) Logical order: Grouping ideas together in a logical order helps achieve coherence. There should be an identifiable pattern.

4) Connections: Use logical connectors to show the relationship between ideas in a paragraph.

5) Repetition: Involves repeating keywords, phrases, ideas or strategic points in a paragraph.

Worksheet

1) Individually, complete the worksheet "Topic Sentences & Supporting Details".

2) Once you have completed your work, share your results with a partner.

3) We are going to review the answers together after.

Defining & Classifying

Rhetoric Mode: Defining & Classifying

  • Remember that you must be very clear when you are defining a term or concept to a reader!
  • Always consider the place and role of the definition in your text.
  • When classifying, you can gather items, ideas or information into types, kinds, or categories according to a single basis of division.

Example: You might start with a paper about sports and divide it up into particular sports - ice hockey, lacrosse and skiing. You could then classify these sports by their popularity in the Canadian culture.
