The Writing Process Prewrite Write Revise Edit Publish

Keys to Effective Writing Include a thesis statement in the first paragraph and a topic sentence about a point in each middle paragraph. Put all your ideas down on paper in your first draft. Use your outline as a guide. Add specific details to explain each point.

Use transition words and phrases to connect your ideas. Write on every other line to leave room for later changes, or double-space if you’re working on a computer.

A paragraph has three main parts. The topic sentence introduces the two people and the point of comparison. The body sentences support the point of comparison. The closing sentence completes the comparison.
