Make Your Students See Red: A Lesson on the Topic Sentence.

Fulkerson, Tahita

Exercise Exchange, v30 n1 p8-9 Fall 1984

Describes a method for helping students see the importance of a topic sentence to achieve unity in written paragraphs. Students note all red items in the classroom. Parallels are then drawn between the way concentrating on red limits notice of other details and the way topic sentences limit and focus the details in a paragraph. (HTH)
