Writing Strong Paragraphs A topic sentence summarizes the main idea of a paragraph. Your supporting sentences support the topic sentence (main idea) of the paragraph. Supporting sentences might tell interesting faces, describe events, or give examples. In addition, the supporting sentences should also provide a smooth transition, so that the paragraph reads clearly and logically.

Composing Your Piece Parts of a Composition Introduction- Introduces the focus of the composition, usually in a thesis statement. Engage the reader’s interest. Body- Just as the supporting statements develop the ideas of a topic sentence, the body of a composition develops the thesis statement and main idea. Provides details that help expand on the thesis statement. Arranged in logical order. Conclusion- Concludes the composition. Restate or summarize thesis statement in conclusion. More effective to recast the thesis in other words. Reinforce the importance of the main idea.

Using Writing Traits to Develop an Effective Composition Ideas- The information presented is: significant, the message or perspective is strong, ideas are original. Organization- A well organized composition flows easily from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph. It smoothly progresses from one idea to the next, indicating the connections between ideas with transitions. Voice- The individual “sound” of a writer’s writing, reflecting the writer’s personality and perspective. A well written piece has a distinctive voice that expresses the writer’s individuality.

Using Writing Traits to Develop an Effective Composition Word Choice- good writers give their writing energy and help readers understand their exact meaning By choosing words with precision, and by using vivid words to create images. Sentence Fluency- Sentences flow smoothly They do not sound choppy or awkward. The meaning and the rhythm of the sentences work together. Use a variety of sentence structures and patterns.
