Unit 3: 3A Fashion Statements Reading
Writing 1 (examples
paragraph; 20 points, 1 hour): You will be given
topics from which you will choose one to develop into a
paragraph. It is useful to take a few minutes before
writing to formulate a clear, focused, and engaging topic
sentence to begin your paragraph, and outline/organize
vivid examples to illustrate and support that topic
sentence. Review the basics of paragraph writing and guide
to the illustration (example) paragraph in your supplement
packet (pp. 1–22
of the Paragraph Writing section)
and practice with the exercises provided there. Also, here are additional tips and
examples culled from your own in-class writing and from
past students' work.
