Page 16: Writing Skill • Topic Sentence: Identifies one main idea and what the writer will say about it (it will give an idea of the writer’s opinion): • Example: There are many holidays but my favorite holiday is American Thanksgiving. • What do you think I’ll write about, if this is my topic sentence?

  5. Supporting sentences are in the middle of the paragraph (or essay). They support my topic sentence with example, reasons, details, and explanations.

  9. Page 17: Outline • The outline is a plan of what you want to write. It does not need to include complete sentences, but just your ideas so you can organize your thoughts before you start writing. • It’s like the skeleton: there’s the bones, but no meat! The supporting details and complete sentences are the meat!
