can you give me some ideas for writing a essay about recycling, conserving water, conserving electricity, and stopping pollutions. My teacher wants me to write paragraphs that are long like 10 sentences.

Answer 1

Please als o show me how to write a good introduction with a topic senstence and a thesis statement.

Answer 2

Paragraph development:
Here's a plan for a well developed paragraph, and I'll make sure it's ten sentences long!

~~Topic sentence (main idea for the paragraph)
~~First detail sentence - the second most important detail or "evidence" to support the topic sentence.
~~Two commentary sentences - both explaining what YOU THINK that detail sentence means.
~~Second detail sentence - another important detail that supports the topic sentence.
~~Two commentary sentences, explaining what YOU THINK the second detail sentence means.
~~Third detail sentence - the most important detail that supports the topic sentence.
~~Two commentary sentences, explaining what YOU THINK the third detail sentence means.
~~You could add a sentence at the end of the paragraph which serves as a conclusion for this paragraph's thoughts and/or a transition to the next paragraph.

This careful planning of each paragraph's sentences is taught specifically in this system:

In addition, there are excellent ideas here about developing ideas and paragraphs:
