A paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and coherent, and are all related to a single topic.

Almost
every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. This is
because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus help the reader
see the organization of the essay and grasp its main points.

T – TOPIC SENTENCE - Use a topic sentence at the


start of each paragraph, clearly stating the main
point of the paragraph.

- “Answers the” the question/prompt T- Topic Sentence/Top Bun


- Sets up the paragraph

- Makes a point linked to the question

E – EXPAND/EXPLAIN – Give more details.

- Specifies/narrows the topic sentences (May be about a E- Explain/Lettuce


specific character, event, etc)

E – EVIDENCE/EXAMPLES - Support with material


from references - Find information from the text to
support your topic sentence (main point), including
quotations.

E- Example/Chicken Patty

L – LINK – Link back to main point/forward to next point. Link your


evidence back to the essay question and try to link to the next
paragraph so that your essay flows well.

- Your link is unique --- it shows your thought process and why you
chose the evidence (It may analyse, interpret or clarify the
evidence) L- Link/Bottom Bun
