List at least three details or examples that support your topic sentence. Your topic sentence should be written as a general statement, followed by specific information that supports it. For example, if your topic sentence states that cats are better than dogs, you should provide three or more examples of why you believe this.
Use transition words or phrases that connect your supporting details to the topic sentence and to each other. Use phrases such as, "to begin with," "in addition to," "more important" or "another reason why." Using transition words improves the flow of your writing and strengthens the argument of your topic sentence.
Wrap up your paragraph with a feeling sentence that effectively summarizes your opinion on your topic. A feeling sentence gives the reader a general overview of how you feel about a topic. Feeling sentences typically are written in "I think" format. An example of a feeling sentence may be, "I think cats are the best pet a man could have."
