Best Answer

The topic sentence should state the main idea that will be developed. The reader should easily be able to see the main idea, simply by reading the topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph, and is the most important thought in the paragraph.

Can I get a copy of an outline for an essay?

Sure you can. (Please keep in mind that this is a framework, a skeletal construction. The actual work of the essay is yours, and asking anyone else to do the work for you would be cheating. Additionally, as a guide, the information below is intended as the bare minimum; essays are more complex, but over all not very complicated to construct. Simply do the work, and you will find just how easy it is):I). Introductory paragraphA). Introductory sentenceB). Topic sentenceC). First support of topicD). Second support of topicE).

Conclusion/Summation of the EssayAt minimum, an essay is constructed of five paragraphs, with five sentences in each paragraph. That's a total of twenty-five sentences. Nothing could really be easier than writing twenty-five sentences.The secret to writing any essay though is to write about what interests you. If your topic is of no interest to you, your writing will not be interesting for anyone else. What you feel telegraphs into what you write and how you write it. Even if the topic has been assigned to you, take the time to research a way to make it your own. Find something interesting and focus on that thing. Then write.Putting off the effort serves no purpose at all but to destroy your grade; something you may care little about now, but which you will regret very much in the future.
