Embedded Files
Topic
Topic
Your first sentence must state your point. It introduces the topic you’re about to discuss and tells the reader what the paragraph is going to be about. This is sometimes called a topic sentence.
Evidence
Evidence
Support your point with evidence and examples. In the next one or two sentences, give evidence to expand upon and support the point you made. Evidence could include both primary and secondary sources
Explain
Explain
This is where you show your understanding by explaining in more detail how and why your evidence supports your point. Your explanation should interpret the evidence for the reader.
Link
Link
The last sentence should reinforce your original topic.
In some circumstances it may make more sense to switch Explain and Examples/Evidence. It is okay to be flexible with these two.
