Question 1Writing a topic sentence is similar to
writing a thesis sentence but on a smaller scale.

CheckPoint ParagraphsOften, 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

be supported by an example or cause/effect, and a
personal experience might be supported by
details.
