• Discussion Question 1
• Writing a topic sentence is similar to writing a
  thesis sentence but on a smaller scale. Whereas,
  the thesis statement conveys the main idea of the
  entire paper, a topic sentence conveys the main
  idea of a single paragraph. Having a topic

  unification of the ideas in the paragraph.

  topic sentence should not be included, a topic
  sentence automatically unifies

• CheckPoint Paragraphs
• Often, writers use more than one type of
  supporting paragraph to develop an essay. The
  type of supporting paragraph depends on the type
  of thesis statement the writer has chosen. For
  example, an argument might be supported by an
  example or cause/effect, and a personal
  experience might be supported by details.
• In this CheckPoint, you will determine the kinds
  of supporting paragraphs that are best suited for
  your thesis statement.
