Reviewing Your Essay Plan - Topic Sentences Is a Key to Getting Readers to Connect Them
Reviewing Your Essay Plan - Topic Sentences Is a Key to Getting Readers to Connect ThemWhen you review your essay plan, you should ensure that each topic sentence has an obvious connection to the main argument that you are making. This will make your essay flow better. However, if the connections are not clear and can be easily missed, you risk losing the reader and losing your interest in the essay itself.As an example, let's say that you write an essay on racism and sexism. You may be aware that the subject is controversial. Many people disagree with the notion that racism and sexism exist and are two different problems, as they see them. You may also know that there are different definitions of these two things that can be applied to many different situations, including all types of interaction between races and between genders.So, the topic sentence will need to relate to an argument in the essay that you have written. There are a few different ways to do this. The three basic me thods are to build upon the thesis of the essay, connect the topic sentence to a point made within the essay, or do something different entirely.In your first method, you build upon the thesis of the essay by incorporating some of the points made within the original essay into your new one. This means you will need to link points made by the original author with yours. Another option is to use the concept of 'quotation marks' to link points made by the original author. Theses are commonly referred to as 'plausible implications.'The second method of reviewing the essay is by using the idea of 'hypothesis,' which is something that you do not yet know to be true. Instead of trying to prove that a hypothesis is true, you are working toward proving that it is probable. When you use this method, you should ensure that each topic sentence is linked to a point made within the body of the essay.For example, if you write an essay on women's rights, you could link the thesis to the reality of feminism or what the right to vote means. When you review your essay plan, you should ensure that each topic sentence connects to the main thesis that you are trying to express. It may help to briefly explain the argument and discuss why you feel it is relevant to the topic you are writing about.The third method is something that most people do not consider when they review their essay plans, but is extremely important when writing an essay. It involves utilizing the 'Whole,' or 'wholehearted' approach to writing. By 'whole' I mean that you should never use a small piece of information for more than it was intended for.Each time you use a small piece of information, you lose the idea that it was not intended for a larger purpose. This will mean that you risk not connecting a point made within the essay to the thesis statement you have written in the body of the essay. When you review your essay plan, you should ensure that each topic sentence is connected to a point made within the body of the essay.
