Topic Sentence

Definition:

This term refers to the sentence at the beginning of a body paragraph. Topic sentences make a point in support of the thesis and preview the content of the body paragraph. Think of a topic sentence as a mini-thesis for each body paragraph. Smaller and cuter than the original. Like the latest Die Hard movie.
