3) Make Topic Sentences
A topic sentence is the first sentence in a paragraph, and it summarizes the rest of the
paragraph. You can create them first to help you stay on track when writing your essay.
For the thesis “Reading makes you smarter,” one paragraph’s topic sentence might be,
“Newspapers make you more aware of current events.” Another paragraph’s topic sentence
could be, “Reading plays and classic literature will make you more cultured.”
If you’re writing about the three main issues facing writers today, you could write three full
sentences that each address one main issue. Set these aside. Then, when you start writing
the essay, refer to your topic sentences to create a solid structure that begins at point A and
ends at point C.
