Struggling to write a topic sentence? Are you trying to figure out how to start your body paragraph?

In this video, I give you eight easy steps to writing both an advanced and basic topic sentence. First, I review THREE different purposes of a topic sentence to give you a clear understanding of why you need to write one. Second, I then review how to brainstorm both claims and counterclaims before you start writing. Next, I give you a simple formula that you can easily use to write a topic sentence. I also, give you an example of a basic topic sentence. Then, I go over how to write a more advanced topic sentence and how to use your claim to transition from one paragraph to the next. I then cover some common mistakes that you will want to avoid and finally, I help you revise and edit your topic sentences to make sure they are clear, precise, and easy to read.

Helpful and well organized, but let's do something about the delivery. Add some inflections, the monotonous talk is bothersome.
