Paragraph Structure
Point
Your first sentence must state your point.
It introduces the topic you’re about to discuss and
tells the reader what the paragraph is going to be
about.
This is sometimes called a topic sentence.
Explanation
This is where you show your understanding by
explaining in more detail about your opening
point.
You should use relevant terminology and ideas
that reiterate and expand upon your point.
Example
Support your point with relevant evidence and
examples.
Evidence can include facts, statistics, or details
of a case study.
Link
The last sentence should reinforce your original
point or link your writing to the specific question
you are addressing.
The link sentence can also provide a transition
to the next topic or paragraph.
