“Topic sentences are great.” As the first sentence in a paragraph,
this statement, while setting up an idea, is not quite yet a topic
sentence. This first sentence does tell
the reader that topic sentences are great, but it doesn’t
highlight why they are great. So,
what is a topic sentence? Simply put, a
topic sentence is the first sentence of each paragraph in the main body of an
essay that tells the reader what that paragraph is about. Without these sentences, an essay’s
meaning is not quite clear to the reader.
“Topic sentences are important not only
because they create a structure for the essay but also because they help the
reader understand what each paragraph is really about.” Now that sentence is a topic
sentence! As I begin to qualify that
sentence, my reader will already know what point I am going to prove and not
worry about digging through my paragraph to find my main point. Another way to think about a topic sentence
is as a mini thesis. Your essay should
already have a main claim or argument; your topic sentences are just mini
claims or theses that show what each paragraph is trying to prove or show.
Some tips for writing topic
sentences:
—Think about topic sentences as you
write your draft and, especially, as you re-read and revise your draft.
—Once you finish writing each
paragraph, return to your first sentences and compare it to that paragraph’s
last sentences. You might find that the
last sentence in your paragraph is
the topic sentence.
—Avoid observation; try to analyze in
your topic sentences.
