Writing practice: Creating unity
14
Exchange drafts with a classmate to focus on topic sentences and paragraph development. Read each paragraph of your classmate’s draft and ask questions.
- What is the main point of the paragraph?
- Is there a topic sentence that signals to readers what to expect in the rest of the paragraph?
- Does each sentence support the topic sentence and logically follow from the one before?
Use the space below to write brief notes that suggest possible revisions to help your classmate unify each paragraph around a main point.
