Remember to organize your writing as follows:

Topic Sentence:  Responds briefly to the prompt and states main idea of the entire paragraph.  

Explanation Sentence: Elaborates on your main idea.

Examples: This is where you provide strong evidence and details that support your topic sentence. Convince the reader by sharing statistics, facts, quotes, anecdotes, or illustrations. 

Concluding Sentence:  This sentence should summarize what the entire paragraph was about. You should not simply repeat the topic sentence.
