prove (thesis)• It should have a subject, a verb, and a controlling idea.

• Ex.) One reason why schools should not enforce random locker checks is because it is an invasion of student privacy.

SUPPORTING SENTENCES

can I give?• Three supports per paragraph

CONCLUDING SENTENCES• A concluding sentence explains what your paragraph is about.• Use as a bridge between paragraphs• Not only ________________________________ but
