- We write a TOPIC SENTENCE for each TOPIC on our Topic Outline, FORM 5.
- Each TOPIC SENTENCE names our SUBJECT and one of our TOPICS.
- It helps readers identify the TOPIC of a paragraph or group of paragraphs about a SUBJECT.
- When we write about TOPICS on our Outline, we are writing in the EXPOSITORY style.
- When we write about ACTIONS in a Storyline, we are writing in the NARRATIVE style.
