Paragraph Structure

Trick #6

Use this paragraph structure in your essays:

1. Make a statement or ask a question related to the topic. (Sometimes this is called the topic sentence.)

2. Define any terms that you are using that your reader might interpret differently than you do. 

3. Explain why the statement or question is important to the topic.

4. Give an example or two.

5. Use a transition technique to move to the next paragraph.
