Several people were confused about topic sentences. Think of the topic sentences (the top, or first, sentences in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4) as mini-theme statements. They are big ideas (not the one you chose for your theme statement in paragraph 1, but they are other big ideas from your list related to it) that guide the rest of the paragraph. We are still drafting, so anything that is unclear or confusing can be changed during revision.
Homework: 731 and 702 should have paragraphs 1-4 drafted in Writer's Sourcebook. Tomorrow we will work on the conclusion.
Read/Respond #12.
New due dates for 5-Paragraph Essay and Writer's Sourcebooks: Dec. 2. Rubrics to come soon!
