Thursday, February 2, Day 6
Today we'll look at body paragraphs, topic sentences, and supporting details. Once you have established your topic sentences, you'll need to be sure each of your supporting details relates to its topic sentence. There are several kinds of support you can use, and we'll go over each today, discussing which are stronger and weaker, and how different kinds work together for the benefit of your essay.
We'll also discuss transition phrases and how the use of these can make your sentences flow together better.
1. Powerpoint: Supporting Details & transition phrases
2. Paragraph study
3. Revision
Each day we're building on a specific part of your essay. Your outline should reflect the changes we make. By the end of this unit, you should have an outline and an essay that match and include all the criteria for an introduction, 3 body paragraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion.
