If your paragraph feels like a pile of sentences, the ideas may be related, but it still feels unfinished. Think of it as a short answer to a teacher's question. A good answer makes one clear claim and supports it. Start with a topic sentence: the main point answering the question. Add evidence-a fact, example, quotation, or other specific detail, depending on the question and subject. Then give an explanation: show how that detail proves or clarifies your point. That's the turn: a paragraph is not several related facts. Every sentence must support one clear point. Test it by asking, "Does this sentence help answer the same question?" If not, remove it or connect it more clearly. Your last sentence does not have to repeat the topic sentence; it simply completes the answer. Remember: point, proof, explanation. Build one supported answer, not a stack of sentences.
