Paragraph structure

One of the most popular features on this blog is the series Writing Workshop, where we deal with several aspects concerning techniques and strategies to develop the writing skill with a view to improving students' performance in the writing paper of the test.

Many of the ideas set out in the Writing Workshop can also be easily spotted on the net. Take, for instance, the standard paragraph structure:

Topic sentence
Supporting sentences
Concluding sentence

This video by SmrtEnglish dwells on this standard paragraph structure, and gives us lots of visual support to help with understanding and lots of examples for us to figure out what the teacher is really talking about.
